Trip Overview

The Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek is a protracted hike that travels through woods, high windswept mountains, deserted valleys, high alpine meadows, and terraced hills that have been farmed. This strenuous journey necessitates a high degree of fitness since it includes crossing two passes—the French Pass at 5,360 meters and the Dhampus Pass at 5,200 meters—as well as the Dhaulagiri Base Camp at 4,740 meters. The benefits of this journey, however, include breathtaking vistas of Tukuche Peak (6,920m), Dhaulagiri I (8,167m), Dhaulagiri II (7,751m), Dhaulagiri III (7,715m), and Dhaulagiri V (7,715m) (7,618m).
The circuit trail passes past towns, terraced farms, rivers, gorges, glaciers, and moraines as it travels. There is plenty of chance to admire the stunning mountain scenery because there is time to acclimatize before climbing the high passes.

  • A variety of sceneries, including snow mountain glaciers, verdant farming communities, and rocky mountain panoramas of the arid plains, are encountered over the entire walk.
