Dolpo is the traditional Tibetan name for a vast area of Nepal immediately north of Dhaulagiri Himal. It is a harsh land of rugged topography and arid climate. Population is sparse and settlements are scattered in isolate villages where irrigation is possible. However, this remote area supported a rich tradition called Bonpo religion of 16th century. Its vestiges are still found in the various gompas in Dolpo. The people are much depended on livestock raising and trade. They have close ties with people of Tibet. One of the attractions in Dolpo is Phoksundo lake and its waterfall. The lake, at 3,627 m, is a blue stretch of water in a deep valley surrounded by snow peaks. On its south end is a high moraine bank from which the lake outlet is in the form of a waterfall cascading down 1,670 metres
