Dopali child and mother
Dolpa is the largest
district of Nepal covering 5.36% of the total landmass of the country. Located
between 28°24’ N - 29°43’ N latitude, and 82°24’ E - 83°38’ E longitude, the
elevation in Dolpa ranges from 1,525 to 7,625 m (5,003 to 25,016 ft) above sea level.
A large portion of the district is protected by Shey Phoksundo National Park.
The name is derived from the 12th century Shey Monastery and the deepest lake
in Nepal, the Phoksundo Lake, both of which lie in the district. The park
protects endangered animals like the snow leopard, musk deer and the Tibetan
wolf. Shey Phoksundo is the largest and the only trans-Himalayan National Park
in Nepal
