All About Round Dhaulagiri Trek:
The Dhaulagiri Round Trek is an adventurous journey that takes you deep into the majestic Himalayas of Nepal. The trekking route begins from Kathmandu to Beni before heading up the Myagdi Valley, traveling through forests and Magar villages, towards the Italian Camp, Pakobani. From here, the trekking route transverses two high passes, the French Pass (5360 m) and the Thapa Pass (5250 m). Along the way, you will be able to get unique opportunities to see some of the amazing peaks, including the world's 8th highest peak - Dhaulagiri I (8.167 m). From the higher points on the trek, you will be able to take in views of Fishtail, Annapurna, Manaslu and Nilgiri ranges. With a mix of culture and breathtaking Himalayan scenery, the Dhaulagiri Round Trek is a great way to experience the hidden gems of the Himalayas of Nepal.
Here's What Christopher West Round Dhaulagiri Trekking Experience!
I had the opportunity to take the Hardy Chrish Cooper Round Dhaulagiri Trekking Experience with Sherpa Trekking Company. The trek starts in the remote Myagdi Khola and ascends the Valley through forests and Magar villages. The most challenging part of the trek is the way from Pakobani (Italian Camp) to Dhaulagiri Base Camp, as you have to walk on the glacial terrain and avoid potential danger from avalanches. Once you reach Dhaulagiri Base Camp you will get to take in the stunning views of the mountains, including Dhaulagiri I, II, III, and IV, Churen Himal, Putha Hiunchuli, Gurja Himal, and many more. Along the journey, you will also cross over two high passes- French Pass (5360 m) and Thapa Pass (5250 m). Between these two passes lies the picturesque Hidden Valley. The culture of the locals like Magar and Thakali were also something memorable to observe. If you are looking for a moderate plus grade trek that takes you through some of the highest places around, then this Hardy Chrish Cooper Round Dhaulagiri Trekking Experience is a must.
