Dolpa region continue their centuries-old
barter trade with Tibet, and around Tarap, the interior of this
alluring and exotic region, most villages are still distinctly Tibetan.
The mingling of cultures is fascinating here, for while the Tibetan
population is relatively small, much of the practice of Hinduism
has taken on a Buddhist mien. It is interesting to see how the pre-Buddhist
religion, Bön, is practiced here - notice, for example, how
unlike in Hinduism and Buddhism, circumambulations are done counter-clockwise,
and mani walls and chhorten are passed on the right. The mysterious
villages, insular people, the extremely rugged terrain, the religion,
the legendary Crystal Mountain, and the shockingly blue lake where
no aquatic life lives - all this makes Dolpo one of the most fascinating
of all places in Nepal
