Trekking in Dhaulagiri

Mount Dhaulagiri (8137m), the seventh highest peak in the world rises above the Kali Gandaki River, which flows between the Annapurna Massif and this tremendous peak. The trekking to Dhaulagiri region is rewarded with spectacular views of both majestic Himalayan peaks and White Water Rivers. The local ethnic minorities such as Magars, Thakalis and Gurungs still love to be in convention and speak their own language.


Dhaulagiri (White Mountain), separated from the Annapurna region by Kali Gandaki Gorge (deepest in the world) includes some fifteen peaks above 7000mt. This is a challenging trek, which will reward you with the opportunity to camp on a glacier.


Magdi Glacier, Dhaulagiri Base camp (4750m), French Pass (5360m) (highest point of the trek) including the several peaks such as Putali Himal and Tukuche Peak gives you an excellent view of Dhaulagiri range. A hidden snow valley (after crossing French pass) gives you a heavenly test of white world. The Dhampus Pass between Tukuche peak and Thapa peak is another haven in the trip.
