Trekking - Dhaulagiri
Trekking duration: 18-25 days
Starting from: Beni-Shinga
Ending at: Birethanti-Pokhara
Most Attraction of the trek:
A challenging trek, which will reward you with the opportunity to camp on a glacier. The toughness of the terrain is more than made up for by the spectacular scenery and wilderness. The rewards also come when you rejoin the Jomsom trail, where you may have apple cider in Marpha or a hot spring afternoon in Tatopani.
This region is new territory for trekkers. Trekking off the main path is not only possible, but can be immensely rewarding, though you do need a sense of adventure and an increased ability to deal with the unexpected. Geographically, Dhaulagiri region is a land of dramatic contrast. 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 rock and ice massif screens the hidden land of Dolpo to its northwest.
Following the rivers upstream, ferns and forests of oak and other deciduous trees and juniper abound. Mountainsides of rhododendron blaze with color in the spring, and other flowers are abundant on the trail. Even on High Mountain passes above the tree line, tiny alpine flowers can be found dotting the windswept ground.
