Dhaulagiri circuit (Part of Annapurna region) (NNTRE : 03)

Around Dhaulagiri is one of the long and difficult trek in Nepal and it is sixth highest mountain in the world. Very few trekkers visited in this area for good reason because of the deep valleys and encircling the giant mountain. embrace a wide range of peoples and terrains, from subtropical jungle to a geographic extension of high, dry , Tibetan Plateau. The scenery is superb mix of lush vegetation, mountain peaks and an endlessly changing procession of people.

Flora and Fauna
The range of geographical and climatic regions has led to a diverse variety of flora and fauna with in this region. These parts of area are heavily cultivated and the landscape is terraced paddy fields for most of the year. the higher up in the hills the natural vegetation changes from the tropical species to more temperate stands of forest trees including oak, beech and rhododendron.

People and culture
The most prominent ethnic groups in this region are the Gurung, Braman, chetri, Thakali and the Magar.

The trek start at Beni of Myagdi district. Myagdi is one of the most easterly of the districts where the Mager people can be found. This group of hill dwellers are similar in many ways to their Gurung neighbours but are thought to have settled in Nepal some time earlier.
The Dhaulagiri trail follows the Myagdi khola, the river that drains the southern side of the Dhaulagiri massif. Passing through the settlements of Darbang and Muri, the country is still quite heavily populated with scattered villages and farming land. Beyond Muri , the river swings north and the landscape becomes much more rugged and sparsely populated. The tree line is reached just below the site of the, so-called , Italian base camp . located at snout of the Chhonbaraan glacier, is an ideal place to spend an acclimatization day exploring the hills around about.
The next two days are spent on the glacier, the second night being at Dhaulagiri base camp, a rugged spot with some spectacular views of the western face of Dhaulagiri.
Trail crosses French pass (5360m). which is the highest point of trek. Descending from French pass you will enter to the Hidden valley. The place is one of the true wilderness areas accessible to trekkers in Nepal.
From Hidden valley the trail crosses Dampus pass(Thapa pass) which is 100m lower than French pass. After crossing Dhampus pass the trail descends in to the valley of Kali Gandaki meeting the main trail at Marpha or Tukuche. Along the way there are spectacular views across to the Annapurnas and up into the arid steppes of Mustang.
