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. |
