Around Dhaulagiri

This remote and challenging trek for the more adventurous walker circles Dhaulagiri, the seveth highest mountain in the world. The White Mountain towers in its solitary splendor as 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 valley and then north into the heart of its Base camp. We come to and cross 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 or trek back to Pokhara.
