Dhaulagiri Trekking

The Dhaulagiri means "White Mountain" is the seventh highest mountain in the world. It is an enormous Himalayan massif, located in north central Nepal. Dhaulagiri is the highest mountain located entirely within Nepal. After its discovery by the western world in 1808, it replaced Ecuador's Chimborazo (20,561 ft.) as the postulated highest mountain in the world.

The Dhaulagiri Trekking provides the stunning views of the whole Dhaulagiri range and this trek could equally be described as an expedition, with the crossing of French Col (5,360m) with its disreputable climate. Our trail passes through dense forests of rhododendron, oak, deciduous trees and juniper. The Dhaulagiri Trek is particularly attractive to people drawn to high mountains and wilderness, and requires an excellent physical condition and basic mountaineering skills.

Trekking to Dhaulagiri starts at Beni, the district headquarters of Myagdi, follows the Myagdi Khola. A great significance of this trek is the French pass (5360m), where trekkers must be aware of the health of their group members, especially on the section between French pass and Dhampus pass (5250m).
