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.
