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.
