This trek is magnificent combination to explore the alpine, faunal and floral aspect of Nepal along with diverse demography of Magars and Thakali. A valley of rhododendrons, bamboo and pine forest lead us to Dhaulagiri base camp and then we head forward, for few days, through difficult alpine passage crossing French pass (5360m), Thapa pass (5200m) until we join the valley of Kaligandaki. On the way we stop many times to admire Himalaya.
This is adventurous type of trek so those who are physically strong and had already good experience in trekking over the glacier are considered. High mountain's climbing required warm clothes.. It is very cold at the base camp and for crossing the passes of the peaks one should walk with Crampons, piolets and ropes. So only the trained people are recommended for the climbing.
High Light of this trek: Mt. Dhaulagiri (8167m), Hidden Valley, Nilgiri and Kaligandaki valley…
