Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek

 

 

Description

 

Dhaulagiri ('White Mountain') is the world's seventh highest peak and separated from the Annapurna region by the Kali Gandaki gorge, the deepest gorge in the world. With fifteen peaks above 7000 m, this area is of dramatic contrast. The Dhaulagiri circuit trek follows glaciers crossing high snowcapped passes; a challenge that suits only the physically healthy trekkers who wish to go on an isolated, adventurous trail in Nepal. During the walk we will often find ourselves on icy paths. Experience the pristine valley of Myagdi, the lush terraced hillsides, traditional villages and the rugged terrain of the massif Dhaulagiri. The tough, but technically unchallenging, French and Thapa passes are simply stunning. They will give you beautiful memories of this breathtaking part of Nepal.

 

Grade

 

The Dhaulagiri circuit trek is a trek which requires good physical health and a body that is able to walk longer distances. Because we will cross tough points sometimes, it is recommended that you are trained and in good condition when starting this trek. We will take time to adapt to higher altitudes on a regular basis, to prevent you from facing any difficulties during this travel. This trek is graded as a strenuous trek.
