Dhaulagiri Trekking(28 Nts / 29Days )

Background:
This superb-but-difficult trek allows you to discover Dhaulagiri (8167 m), or White Mountain, one of the most western Nepal's beautiful Himalaya. There is a long, difficult trek around Dhaulagiri that starts form the sub-tropical forests of the Myagdi valley. Follow the Myagdi khola west wards to Darbang and turn north on a tiny trail that leads through forests into the high remote passes and glaciers of Dhaulagiri before reaching the Kali Gandaki Valley. Much of the route is on snow and glaciers as it crosses French Pass (5240 m), traverse the head of Hidden Valley, and crosses 5155 m Dhumpus Pass. The trek ends with a steep descent to Marpha and a return to Pokhara, either via the Kali Gandaki or over the Ghorapani ridge for a panoramic view of the entire Dhaulagiri and Annapurna Massif . Two routes are suggested for the return: Ghorepani-Poon Hill-Birethanti (total 28 days) or Tatopani-Beni- Baglung (22days). A shorter optional (18 days) is possible with a return flight from the Jomsom to Pokhara or Kathmandu. Because of the high altitude, this trek is recommended for trekkers with some physical training.
