Around Dhulagiri (Dhulagiri trek)
Just west of Annapurna is the 40 mile wide Dhaulagiri
Himal. Dhaulagiri I, the sixth-tallest peak in the
world, towers high above the well-trekked Muktinath
pilgrim trail up the Kali Gandaki Valley. The vast
massif screens the hidden lands of Dolpo to its north,
and to the west of it are Nepal's far western hills.
Only to the east along the Kali Gandaki Valley can
we easily view the mountain close up, so massive Dhaulagiri
with its symmetrical peak and four major outliners
remains an enigma along much of its perimeter. Like
fabled but restricted Dolpo, the complete month-long
trek around Dhaulagiri is only for a handful of hikers.
This is because much of the route traverses difficult,
remote country.
We start our trek from Beni, after long day drive
from Kathmandu going through nice village in the beginning
and through high and remote area of the glacier and
passes later and finally come down to Marpha where
we meet the main trail of Annapurna circuit or kaligandaki.
Then, we join this trail and make the trek through
kaligandaki valley and trek upto Muktinath, the gateway
of Mustang. As this is Nepal's one of the most demanding
trek and goes through glacier, French pass and Thapa
pass, only experience trekkers should attempt this
trek. Clients carry only daypack and walk on their
own pace. Average hiking per day in Dhulagiri trek
6-7 hrs.
