Dhaulagiri Round Trek

Dhaulagiri Round Trek

There are trekking courses from Myagdi Khola or from Marpha in the Kali Gandaki Valley to Dhaulagiri B.C. You ascend from the Myagdi Valley through forests and Magar villages. The hardest part of this trek is the way from Pakobani (Italian Camp) to Dhaulagiri Base Camp, because you have to walk on the glacier for a long time, and some places are endangered by avalanches. Then, there are two high passes to cross, French Pass (5375 m) and Thapa Pass (5250 m), between them lies the beautiful Hidden Valley which gives you the feeling to stay right in between the high mountains. Main peaks are Dhaulagiri I (8.167 m), II, III and IV, Churen Himal (7.371 m) Putha Hiunchuli (7.246 m), Gurja Himal (7.193 m) and others.
