This region is considered to be one of the most remote places of the kingdom of Nepal. Abundance of the Himalayan peaks, hidden lands, the village and rural communities, this Trans-Himalayan region is quit peaceful and full of curiosity. Here the meaning of modernity and development has yet to be explored.

The biggest national park of Shey Phoksundo spread in an area of 3555 sq.km. is the one of which this region is very much proud. In this national park, the blue sheep, musk deer, ghoral, thar, and very dangerous snow leopards and many other alpine flora and fauna exist in abundance.
Phoksundo Lake

Surrounded all around by the snowy peaks including that of Dhaulagiri (8167mt.) this region has a lake, which is one of the deepest lakes of the world. Spread in an area of 200 sq.km. this Phoksundo lake is surrounded by rocky cliffs and its turquoise fresh water can touch the very depth of human heart wandering all around in search of peace and tranquility. Such natural phenomena of this region are not a story full of exaggeration rather a reality based on a meditative perception. After watching the ancient monasteries of this region that you encounter on the way and the semi-nomadic life style of the populace based on agriculture and animal husbandry you can develop in you perhaps another conviction and interpretation of life and its reality linked with the extremity of the nature and its surroundings. The many rural communities above 4000mt. are unique examples of the human civilization in such a high altitude.
