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.

Highlights of the Trekking

Exploring Nepalese lifestyles, trekking through glaciers, challenging high Himalayan passes, panoramic views of great Himalayan peaks.

Drive to Beni about 4 hrs.

After leaving the Kali Gandaki river you enter in the Myagdi Khola valley.

Tonight you will camp in Dharapani 1565m, and the Dhaulagiri is no more so far.

The path goes steep up to Muri 1850 m, where the Mt. Dhaulagiri and other mountains appear clearly.

From Muri the trail is easy and goes down for few hours but before to reach Boghara you have to climb a steep path for a couple of hours.

Today the path is quite difficult and sometime you will need the help of the ropes. Watch your step.

Today you will reach the Italien Base Camp where you will camp just infront of the West wall of the Dhaulagiri

Again you will need the help of the ropes, but the path is not dangerous. For better acclimatization will not reach the Dhaulagiri base amp today but you will stop at half way.

Today you will reach the Dhaulagiri Base Camp.

Acclimatization day. In the next day you will be constantly at an altitude of 5,000 – 6,000m, so this day is essential.

During the today trek you will cross the French Pass at an altitude of 5334 m. After the pass you reach the Hidden Valley and you will cross another pass: the Dhampus pass.

For the people who still have energy and do not suffer from “altitude sickness” today is planed to reach the 6013 m of the Thapa peak. The ascent is not difficult.

Long way down to the Kali Gandaki Valley, nearly 2000 m down.

An easy and large path will bring you to Gasa.

Today you will reach Tatopani where you can enjoy the beautiful Hot Springs.

Long way up to Ghorepani, from where you can enjoy an exciting view of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri range.
