Trip Summary:

Dhaulagiri trek is one of most difficult, adventurous and interesting treks. This trek is the wildest, most remote and breathtaking. It requires a good trekking experience and a good physical condition. In low altitude there are villages and valleys. The route passes through dense forest of rhododendron, oak, deciduous trees and juniper. The trail crosses Myagdi Glacier, Dhaulagiri Base Camp, French pass to hidden snowy valley then after Thapa or Dhampus pass towards Jomsom and Muktinath. Dhaulagiri I (White Mountain) is the 7th highest mountain in the world (8,167m/26,869ft) and is separated from the Annapurna region by the Kali Gandaki River Gorge, which is also the deepest in the world. This trek offers views of fifteen peaks above 7,000 meters with some of the best views of the Dhaulagiri range from Magdi Glacier, Dhaulagiri Base camp (4750m), the French Pass (5360m, and the highest point of the trek), Tukuche Peak and Putali Himal. After crossing the French pass you will come upon a hidden snow valley, giving you a heavenly experience of the winter white world. This trek is relatively strenuous and requires high altitude trekking experience. You will need to wear gaiters and carry an ice-axe with you for at least three days of this trek. 

Trek begins with warm traditional welcome and quick safety briefing followed by comprehensive trip briefing next day, introduction to your guide and entertain last minutes questions.
