A daring trek around Mount Dhaulagiri, the seventh highest peak in the world, through two high altitude passes above 5000 meters.
Our life changing Dhaulagiri Circuit trek with Wilderness Excursion explores a wild, remote and off-the-beaten-track area of the Nepal Himalaya. The journey begin at Beni and then follows the Myagdi Khola river, going through beautiful Gurung villages with terraced farm lands enclosed by views of the Dhaulagiri massif.
After walking up the narrow Chonbarden gorge towards Dhaulagiri Base Camp, we then cross French Pass into Hidden Valley. After crossing Dhampus Pass, we start the long descent to Jomsom and then, at the end of the trek, we catch a flight to Pokhara, the lake city, to relax after this legendary venture.
