Trip Overview
Nepal Dhaulagiri trek just west of Annapurna is the 40 mile wide Dhaulagiri Himal. Dhaulagiri I, the sixth-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 lands of Dolpo to its north, and to the west of it is Nepal’s far western hills. Only to the east along the Kali Gandaki Valley can we easily view the mountain close up, so massive Dhaulagiri with its symmetrical peak and four major outliners remains an enigma along much of its perimeter. Like the fabled but restricted Dolpo, the complete month-long trek around Dhaulagiri is only for a handful of hikers. This is because much of the route traverses difficult, remote countries.
We start our trek from Beni, after a long day drive from Kathmandu going through the nice village in the beginning and through a high and remote area of the glacier and passes later and finally come down to Marpha where we meet the main trail of Annapurna circuit or kali Gandaki. Then, we join this trail and make the trek through kali Gandaki valley and trek up to Muktinath, the gateway of Mustang. As this is Nepal’s one of the most demanding treks and goes through glaciers, French pass, and Thapa pass, only experience trekkers should attempt this trek. Clients carry only a daypack and walk at their own pace.

We did the 12-day itinerary trekking to Everest Base Camp. We booked it all from England and communicated with the owner Hari via email. Such a nice family that owns and runs this business. Very friendly and welcoming. We had loads of cups of tea with them in their shop in Thamel before and after our trek.
