Dhaulagiri Circuit Trekking

Dhaulagiri Circuit trekking takes you toward the base camp of Mt. Dhaulagiri. Mt. Dhaulagiri was discovered in 1808 and then thought to be the highest mountain in the world for westerners. It was assumed as the highest peak for 30 years before its place was taken by Kanchenjunga. Dhaulagiri means ‘white mountain’ which justifies magnificent peak rising like a giant shoulder of shining ice and snow. This is a quite tough trek in Nepal but you will never forget the awesome view of this region.

Dhaulagiri is the 7th highest mountain in the world. Be ready for something challenging adventure in Nepal through Dhaulagiri Circuit trekking.

Dhaulagiri lies northwest of Pokhara culminating to its highest point at the eastern end. Dhaulagiri is unique in the world in terms of its rise above local terrain where it rises to 7000 m over the Kali Gandaki gorge to the southeast in about 30 km of aerial distance. In fact, Kali Gandaki is dramatic as two eight thousand mountains  Dhaulagiri &Annapurna I, both stand near the river facing each other over a deep valley.

Travel by bus from Kathmandu to Pokhara and head west further to Baglung. Follow part of the trail about 3 days towards Dhorpatan hunting reserve area and turn north to the base camp of Dhaulagiri. Low hill with terraced rice field and villages gradually gives away to rugged mountain landscape. In about 7 days you reach base camp. The pass-through from base camp to the ridge is steep and long. Cross the ridge at French pass (5100 m) and descend to Tukuche base camp.

Continue to pass through snow condition until you cross the pass. Because of the wind, altitude, and snow, the visibility is usually very low while crossing the main ridge to Tukuche. After crossing the pass you descend to high pastureland for overnight camp. Next day make further steep descend to Tukuche. You are back to civilization as you follow the main trail to Jomsom.
