Description

Dolpo and Mugu, map no. 109, at 1:150,000 on a double-sided, waterproof and tear-resistant trekking map from the Himalayan MapHouse in their series covering the whole of northern Nepal. The map covers on one side the area from Jomsom/Jomosom and Dhaulagiri Himal to Dunai including the eastern part of the Shey Phoksundo National Park, extending on the reverse westwards to include the rest of the park and the area beyond it to Jumla. Highlighted routes include the upper part of the Dhaulagiri trek, Dolpo Trek and the Dolpo Experience Circuit, Juphal (Dunai) to Julma Trek, Kagrara La trek, and the start of the Jumla to Rara Lake Trek. Also highlighted are the relevant sections of the GHT Cultural Trail and the GHT High Route. Contours are at 80m intervals. Each side has a route profile shows the Dolpo and Mugu section of the GHT High Route: between Santa and Bhijer and between Ringmo and Piplan.

Cartography in these waterproof editions, first published in 2011, is identical to what Himalayan MapHouse use in most maps in their other series, published under the Nepa Maps imprint. Contours are at intervals of 80m or 40m (please check individual descriptions), with relief shading plus colouring to show different types of terrain or vegetation. The maps show names of numerous chains, peaks glaciers, valleys, rivers, lakes, etc.

Main trekking routes are prominently highlighted, as are selected settlements along them, indicating where tourist accommodation and other services are provided. Also clearly marked are campsites or base camps and various places of interest. The maps also show other local trekking paths, often providing variants or shortcuts to the main routes. The maps are not indexed. Latitude and longitude coordinates are given as margin ticks at 5’ intervals.
