Dhaulagiri, which means ‘the large
mountain’, dominates the western Nepalese Himalaya.
It lies off the beaten track with the Kaligandaki River
and Annapurna in the east and the Dolpo region further
west. Our
adventure of circling Dhaulagiri starts at the lower
altitude of 1300m. The road head is reached after an
hour's drive from Kathmandu and our path visits numerous
beautiful villages situated along the terraced hills
before emerging into seasonal high pastures and finally
high Himalayan valleys to reach the Dhaulagiri base
camp. From the base camp the trek heads north east and
crosses some of the tremendeous Himalayan passes such
as French Pass, Dhampus pass and .... before dropping
down to Kaligandaki valley. The trek ends at Nayapul
where most Annapurna trips end.
