A trek around Dhaulagiri (8,167 meters), the 7th highest peak in the world, sited in the western part of Nepal is considered as a challenging and most rewarding trek around the inspiring Dhaulagiri massif. This isolated trekking offers amazing natural scenery, evergreen forest blossoming with rhododendron combined with native warm hearted people and their heady mixture of unique culture.
The journey to trek to Dhaulagiri takes the less-traveled route and will take you to base of Mount Dhaulagiri (26,795 ft), in beautiful surroundings. This is the seventh tallest peak in the world and one of the deadliest. From 1808 to 1848, Dhaulagiri was believed to be the tallest peak.
"Dhaula" means "white," "Giri" means "mountain," in Sanskrit (former Hindu dialect). The highest climb to this "what Peak" was made after the northeast range, but the climbs were performed from most directions. There were 358 active summits in 2007 and 58 deaths – a fatality rate of 16,2 per cent (among the sumiteers).
The popular and challenging high mountain passes in this area includes; French Pass (5,360 meters) and Dhampus Pass (5,182 meters). Trekking trail passes through forests full of ferns, oak, juniper and into the high provinces, making over snow and glaciers. Further, it circuits around the Dhaulagiri massif, displaying the beauty and wilderness of Nepal’s remote area, which truly is an adventure to any trekking enthusiast. This is a beautiful all round trek that incorporates the best of what Nepal has to offer while being off the beaten track.
Crossing a high remote pass between the massive snow-capped peaks.
High and Wild Land at its best
Trek on the Trans Himalayan Salt Trading Route and through the deepest gorge of the world.
Few frequented villages with friendly residents.
This journey begins in Beni, a big town about 2-3 hours drive from Pokhara. The road to Beni winds and passes through the mountains, but otherwise reasonably well-maintained. A number of treks in the Annapurna region continue or leave, Beni.
Plus, this is a demanding trek, and most trekkers won't want to extend it because of fatigue.
