Dhaulagiri Trekking

Dhaulagiri region trekking is known as an adventurous trekking in Nepal. Trekking off the main paths is not only possible. If you are an adventure lover, the trek to this area could be immensely rewarding. Geographically, the Dhaulagiri region is a steep slope with snow-caped Himalayan peaks. Mt. Dhaulagiri I, is the sixth highest peak of Nepal and world's seventh. The peak is high above the popular religious and trekking site of Muktinath. The vast area screens the hidden river up stream, ferns and forest of Oak and other deciduous trees and juniper forest. The rhododendron forest and many species of flowers are abundantly found on the trail. Tiny alpine flowers are found dotting the windswept ground even in the high mountain passes above the tree line.

Highlights of the Trekking
Exploring Nepalese lifestyles, trekking through glaciers, challenging high Himalayan passes, panoramic views of great Himalayan peaks

This is a long, difficult trek around Dhaulagiri (8167m) that starts from Beni. The trekking route follows the Myagdi Khola westwards to Darbang, then turns north through lowland forests into the high country. Much of the route is on snow and glaciers as it crosses French Col pass (5240m). Then we traverse the head of Hidden Valley, and crosses Dhampus Pass (5155m). The trek ends with a steep descent to Marpha and a return to Pokhara via the Ghorapani ridge. This trek provides some amazing, close up, panoramic view of the entire Dhaulagiri massif.
