Overview
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.

Additional Information
Trekking Difficulty
The Dhaulagiri Circuit is a difficult trek — one of the hardest in Nepal — suitable for trekkers with prior trekking experience at altitudes above 5,000 m. The optional ascent of Dhampus Peak (6,060 m) requires simple mountaineering skills, such as knowledge about the use of ice axes and crampons. Three days in a row, trekking in the snow above 5,000 m, with no easy way down. Adding to the challenge is the cold — because this is a hiking trek, there are no warm lodges to escape at night. The Dhaulagiri Circuit trek is not for beginners or first-time visitors to Nepal, but the rewards are high for those with more experience.
Obtaining Trekking Permits
You will need to purchase a TIMS card ($10) and an Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP) ($20 USD). They can be purchased separately in Kathmandu or Pokhara, or they will be managed for you through your trekking company or agent. HSJ arranges the trekking permits for all its clients.
Lodging and food
Apart from the first and last nights in Beni and Pokhara, where you will stay in hotels, this is an entirely teahouse and camping trek. In tea houses you get basic accommodation and simple food like daal bhaat. This fact increases the effects of the cold. While camping food will be prepared in a camp kitchen, while guides and porters ensure that necessary provisions are carried to prepare high-energy, nutritious and tasty food.
Insuring your safety
We suggest taking out an insurance plan for your individual accountability, accidents and illnesses during the service.Regarding the type of activity, you may be asked to show a certificate of insurance for help and support, sanitation and search. This service is private and not free in Nepal, the helicopter will not take off until it is convinced to pay for the insurance.

Charging your electric devices
Apart from the first and last nights in Beni and Pokhara, where you will stay in hotels, this is an entirely camping trek. There are no lodges and not even any permanent settlements past Pakoban. And hence, you would have to depend on headlights, torches and power bank for charging of your devices.
Internet connection and Telecommunication
Apart from the first and last nights in Beni and Pokhara, where you will stay in hotels, this is an entirely tea house trek. Higher altitude have lesser tea houses and limited services. Hence you would have to be prepared for the limited communication while on the camping trek. Availability of internet would be limited or scarce. Our guides would have satellite phone that would be our means of communication with them regarding the welfare and emergencies that are of the concerns of our client.
Luggage limit for the trek
Often this depends on the trek and the maximum altitude gain. Each porter carries between 15 and 30 kg on average in the mountain region for trekking. There is up to 40 kg of a camping pack. We usually assign one porter to our two trekkers. 15 kg of luggage is allowed per person on the trek. The health of our porter crew is strictly guaranteed.
Availability of drinking water on trek
This being challenging trek, sufficient amount of water would be needed to carried all the way. Filling up water is quick. Taps in, out or in guesthouses mean that there are plenty of places to fill your bottles and/or your water bladders.This could be where you stay, a lunch stop, or a shared public tap used by locals whereever possible. Use an efficient sterilization method to make sure your water is safe and not contaminated in anyway.
Travel and Transportation Modes
On Land: Touring to and from city destinations is done on a private vehicle such as a car, jeep or microbus. Luxury tourist buses, which are only hired by the company for the most part, make the long distance travel. You will may have to take a public bus on some trip, but you do not need to worry about your protection or comfort because you ride with our guides and support staff in a group.
By Air: Flight from Pokhara to Kathmandu is available option for anyone who doesnt want to take 7-8 hours long drive back to Kathmandu. This option is however not included in the package and the cost would be extra USD 110 per person.

French Camp at 5360m is the highest point of this trek through which we reach to Hidden Valley which is at the altitude of 5115m.
AMS in Dhaulagiri is more likely because the altitude unexpectedly increases. Dramatic accents and descents on this trek is its dominant feature. AMS is the most common mountain sickness. It is essential to properly acclimate and hydrate. Go on a step by step and stop when necessary before you go ahead. An qualified guide is hence absolutely necessary for this trek. Listen to the guide and strictly follow his/ her guidance.
Best time to do Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek Trek is during spring (March-May) and Autumn (September-November). HSJ can however organize the trek at any time of the year with absolute safety while still availing you to have memorable experience
The Dhaulagiri Circuit is a difficult trek — one of the hardest in Nepal — suitable only for trekkers with prior trekking experience at altitudes above 5,000 m. The journey requires a high degree of endurance, power and commitment.
The Dhaulagiri Trek Tour is one of the toughest and the most demanding treks that need prior alpine trekking experience. Since the route is less marked chances of gettting lost and confused (paths are often obscured with snow) are hight, it is strongly recommended that you follow a tour guide.
Round Dhaulagiri Trek accommodation is offered on combined tea and camping. There are simple theahouses that provide minimal facilities. Yet the room is tidy and provides a good night's rest. Carry a sleeping bag for added warmth with a lining.
As the camping tour starts, we will sleep on the sleeping bags.

Apart from the first and last nights in Beni and Pokhara, where you will stay in hotels. There are limited lodges and not even enough permanent settlements past Pakoban. And hence, you would have to depend on headlights, torches and power bank for charging of your devices.
Apart from the first and last nights in Beni and Pokhara, where you will stay in hotels, you will be walking on remote off beaten trails. Hence you would have to be prepared for the limited communication while on the camping trek. There is little to no internet connection. Our guides would have satellite phone that would be our means of communication with them regarding the welfare and emergencies that are of the concerns of our client.

Yes, Himalayan Social Journey is flexible travel partner. It is possible to organize the private trip or private group trip to Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek. The minimum people for the group is 2 however supplementary charge will be applicable for the solo traveler wanting to do private trip.
The Tap water supplied along the trails are considered safe for drinking and local people drink it without treating, however for the foreigners, it is best that the tap water be only drunk after purification. There are two good options for having proper drinking water during the trek. You can bring water purification tablets or fill your bottle for a nominal fee from the recognized and regulated "pure water" stations along the trek. As the last alternative, you can also purchase bottled water at the lodges but this is not recommended. It is very important that you drink at least 3 liters of pure water daily during the trek.
Liquid needs and usage of our body is about 3-5 liters a day (13-21 cups). Several findings suggest that drinking carbohydrate and electrolytes (such as sports drinks) in a liquid is safer than moisturizing water at altitude alone. There is also a study done on the effect of tea in reducing the fatigue and mood boosting. Results have been positive. This being said apart from water, you can drink green tea, masala tea, and ginger tea and garlic soup.
It is not suitable trek for novice trekkers and children.
In the average, you will be walking for 5-6 hours each day during the Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek Trek.

However if you need the one of your own, you can buy one here. Your guide shall assist you to get it here. Keep the track of the weather forecast of the area and pack your clothes accordingly. This would help you be prepared for the type of weather Nepali Mountains are accustomed to.
