Dhaulagiri Round Trekking
Round Dhaulagiri is a challenging trekking, the sixth highest mountain in the world, includes snow and glacier trekking. This is the ideal trekking those trekkers who want more extreme experience of the mountains. You will be trekking deep into the Dhaulagiri Mountain to the Italian Base Camp and Dhaulagiri north base camp, offering a wonderful view of huge north face of Dhaulagiri Ist . we shall cross two high passes, the French pass (5,240m) and Thapa pass (5,155m) providing more fantastic views of Dhaulagiri, Throng peak, Annapurna and Kali Gandaki River; the world deepest gorge. You may encounter semi -wild yak herds, mountain sheep or the elusive snow leopard in the remote valleys of this region.
Dhaulagiri round trekking starts in the traditional city of Kathmandu; from where you will drive a bus to Beni, we shall spend the first few days of our trekking walking through cultivated fields connected to some of the mountain villages while enjoying the shops, teahouses, and lifestyle of the Gurung, Chhetri, and Magar people. During these days we shall walk along paved paths, over suspension bridges and through thick forests. The climb starts to get tougher after Dobang, as we ascend to the Italian Base Camp with exciting views of Dhaulagiri I, II, III, IV& V taking a day of rest, acclimatize, explore and fully take up the beauty of surrounding peaks. We shall make your way to Dhaulagiri North Base Camp. Then, our trekking continues on to the French and Thapa Pass which have to be scaled before you descend down a winding trail to Yak Kharka.
Once again we will find our self among mountain people and their villages. After long descend we will arrive in Marpha, popular city of Mustang district. You follow the Annapurna classical trekking and pass the world's deepest gorge. The hot springs at Tatopani offer an excellent retreat after a strenuous trek surrounded by the majestic mountain of Annapurna, Nilgiri and Machhapuchhare. From Tatopani we make our way back to Pokhara, visit several monasteries and sites of religious importance.
