Round Dhaulagiri
Trekking
Maximum Altitude: 5300 meters
Duration of Trek: 17 days camping
Neighboring the Annapurna Himal, Dhaulagiri
lies to the west . Trekking the region
is not an easy pursuit but it offers fantastic rewards, the initial
couple of days are taken along the floor of the Myagdi Khola (river)
passing through lush green rice paddies and past thatched farmhouses.
To be honest, it hardly prepares you for the journey about to unfold.
Almost a week is spent trekking through
dense forest up the Myagdi Khola before entering an alpine
region , which abuts the awe inspiring, and sweeping amphitheater
at the base of Dhaulagiri .
From here onwards some serious high mountain
trekking lies ahead which demands planning and commitment.
The rewards are well worth it; the ruggedness of
the terrain provides a kaleidoscope of experiences and tremendous
views. French pass the highest point of the trek
can be difficult and demanding, especially in bad weather conditions.
Seasoned trekkers to Nepal speak extremely highly
of this journey ,if you possess a good degree of fitness, there
are few better experiences to be had in the Kingdom
