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.
