Description

Around Dhaulagiri Trek

Around Dhaulagiri Trek spans the remote wilderness in the Dhaulagiri range of the Himalayas in Nepal. It is an effort demanding trail that has a status of being precarious and rough around the edges. Only a few local people and some of the trekking groups have explored this technical section around the Dhaulagiri trail and its surrounding area. The magnificent white peak of Dhaulagiri (8,167m) and its glacial traverse offer exciting sceneries on this trek.

Trekking in Dhaulagiri route commences from Beni, the headquarters of Myagdi district. It goes above the Myagdi Khola crossing various suspension bridges. Encountering the waxy traverses and hanging into the rocky slopes, it leads you to the Dhaulagiri basecamp; circumnavigates Mt. Dhaulagiri via French Col and Dhampus Pass till the trek comes to Jomsom, to sum up, the trekking part. The camping excursion with the crappy ropes projects the technical demands of the trek. Heading on through the hidden valleys along the trail, this trek brings spectacular landscapes and sceneries to enjoy despite the difficulties it involves.
