Dhaulagiri: this remote and challenging trek for the
more adventurous walker circles Dhaulagiri, the seventh
highest mountain in the world. Its name means "white
Mountain": towering in solitary splendor, this
magnificent peak rises as a giant shoulder of shining
ice and snow. Dhaulagiri is rarely visited and the
valleys and villages surrounding it are unspoiled and
unchanged .Our trek takes us across the kali Gandaki
River and then north into the heart of the massif; from
the base camp we come to the high point of our trek, the
traverse of French Pass(5,360 m), the hidden Valley and
Dhampus Pass (5182 m), a high level; route which brings
us back to the upper Kali Gandaki Valley in Jomsom. From
here we, either, fly back to Kathmandu via Pokhara or we
can continue from Jomsom till Birerthanti or to Pokhara. |
