Dhaulagiri circuit trekking is a beautiful walk in a very deserted area. The number of walking hours is not very much, but the many days in high altitudes make it a challenging trekking.
This fully equipped camping trekking is the ultimate mountain experience. Only a few very small villages the first days and after that only wild nature. Eight days no signal for your telephone and that is why we carry a satellite-telephone. A large group of Nepali staff is needed … 16 for 4 clients and 30 Nepali for 8 clients. That is the reason it is an expensive trekking.
We start walking at 1100 meter and gradually we ascend, so we cross every climate zone.
Above 4000 meters we meet the Dhaulagiri Glacier, on which we walk and camp for three days and nights.
We will use two acclimatization days, so we ultimately can cross the French Pass on 5360 meters without altitude sickness. After crossing, we enter the Mustang Province, part of the Tibetan desert plateau and we camp on an altitude of 5100 meters in the Hidden Valley. Closer to nature is impossible.
After crossing Dhampus Pass on 5300 meters, in two days we will descend to Marpha in the deepest valley of the world, the Kali Gandaki.
An experience you will never forget.
