"Your Holiday Planner for Nepal Adventure"
Mt. Dhaulagiri in central Nepal is the seventh highest peak in the world, which shadows over the Kali Gandaki river that flows in between Annapurna Massif and this awesome peak.
This trek journeys through Nepal’s wildest and most remote areas where the mountain scenery is simply breathtaking. It is one of the longest treks and is suitable only for those with some mountaineering skills or for the physically fit. The trip is advised only in fall as winter and spring are formidable due to excessive snow ice conditions.
