Dhaulagiri (Kaphe glacier / Chure
himal base camp) - 22 days
Mount Dhaulagiri (8137m), the seventh highest peak in the world rises above the Kali Gandaki River, which flows between the Annapurna Massif
and this tremendous peak. The trekking to Dhaulagiri region is rewarded with spectacular views of both majestic Himalayan peaks and White Water Rivers. The
local ethnic minorities such as Magars, Thakalis and Gurungs still love to be in convention and speak their own language. Dhaulagiri (White Mountain), separated
from the Annapurna region by Kali Gandaki Gorge (deepest in the world) includes some fifteen peaks above 7000m. This is a challenging trek, which will reward you with
the opportunity to camp on a glacier. Magdi Glacier, Dhaulagiri Base camp (4750m), French Pass (5360m) (highest point of the trek) including the several peaks
such as Putali Himal and Tukuche Peak gives you an excellent view of Dhaulagiri range. A hidden snow valley (after crossing French pass) gives you a heavenly test
of white world. The Dhampus Pass between Tukuche peak and Thapa peak is another heaven in the trip.

Experience Required :This Trek is
suitable for keen walkers who are able to walk
for 6 – 7 hours in a day, with a light rucksack.
Some of the days are quite long, and the walking
feels more strenuous at altitude. Generally the
trail is a good track, but occasionally it will
be uneven and rocky.

accommodated in teahouses whilst on trek. A
teahouse is a local run guesthouse, but
standards vary enormously. In popular areas such
as Everest, teahouses are more like hotels, with
hot water, Western food and private rooms
