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.
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. |
