Dhaulagiri Region |
Dhaulagiri Trek
This region is new territory for trekkers. Trekking off
the main paths is not only possible, but can be
immensely rewarding, though you do need a sense of
adventure and an increased ability to deal with
unexpected.Geographically, Dhaulagiri region is a land
of dramatic contrast. From the near tropical Pokhara
valley, steep slopes climb to snowcapped Himalayan
giants. Dhaulagiri 1, 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
north west. Following the rivers upstream, ferns and
forests of oak and other deciduous trees and juniper are
interesting. Mountain sides of rhododendron blaze with
colour 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.
