Dhaulagiri Trek

The (8167m/26745ft),Mt.Dhaulagiri trek starts from Beni on the Kali Gandaki Riverthe.Follow the Myagdi Khola westwards to Darbang and turn north on a tiny trail that leads through forests into the high country.Much of the route is on snow and glaciers as it crosses French Col (5240 meters), traverses the head of Hidden Valley, and crosses 5150 meter Dhampus Pass. The trek ends with a steep descent to Marpha and a return to Pokhara, either via the Kali Gandaki or over the Ghorapani ridge for a panoramic view of the entire Dhaulagiri massif.This is the perfect trip those who want a more intense experience of the mountains. You will be trekking deep into the Dhaulagiri Himal to the Italian Base Camp and Dhaulagiri north base camp, offering a wonderful view of gigantic north face of Dhaulagiri I.

The hot springs at Tatopani offer an excellent retreat after a strenuous trek surrounded by the majestic peak of Annapurna and Machhapuchhare. From Tatopani you make your way back to Pokhara, visiting, on the way, several monasteries and sites of religious importance. Once in Pokhara you can enjoy a few bottles of cold beverages while looking back at this unforgettable experience.
