Dhaulagiri
Trekking
Everyone is familiar
with the name Dhaulagiri
which is in the western
part of Nepal, probably
the best spot for
trekking in Nepal. The
simple reason behind it
is that it consists more
than fifteen 7000-meter
magnificent peaks with
land of dramatic
contrast.
The trek offers you a
ample chance to explore
the wild. Now this
thrilling region has
been shown its long kept
secrets, since reopened
of the places like the
Gandaki Gorge, the
deepest Gorge in the
world!! Dhaulagiri means
"white mountain" though
many mountains over the
world have names, which
translate, to White
Mountain, this is
without doubt the most
astonishing one.
From the near tropical
Pokhara valley, steep
slopes climb to
snowcapped Himalayan
giants. Dhaulagiri, the
seventh 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 land
of Dolpo to its
northwest.
The trek to Dhaulagiri
offers unparalleled and
impressing scenery,
besides it includes as
you might expect in such
a remote area, some very
interesting indigenous
people. Following the
rivers upstream, ferns
and forests of oak and
other deciduous trees
and juniper are
interesting.
Mountainsides of
rhododendron blaze with
color in the spring, and
other flowers are
abundant on the trail.
We can found tiny alpine
flowers even on High
Mountain passes above
the tree dotting the
wind swept ground.
The popular high
mountain passes includes
French Pass (5360m) and
Dhampus Pass (5250m/
17,220ft). These passes
offers great experience
trekkers with excellent
physical condition.
