Trans-Himalaya · 5,151m (passes) · best May–Sep (rain-shadow)

Nepal's remotest corner — turquoise Phoksundo Lake, snow-leopard country and Bon monasteries unchanged for centuries.

🕉️ The story & spiritual meaning

Shey Gompa sits beneath Crystal Mountain, Dolpo's holy peak — a single kora around it is said to equal many of lesser mountains. Dolpo is also one of the last living homes of Bon, the faith that preceded Buddhism in the Himalaya.
