Mount Dhaulagiri (8137m), the seventh highest
peak in the world rises above the Kali Gandaki
River, which flows between the Annapurna Massif
and this tremendous peak. The trekking to
Dhaulagiri region is rewarded with spectacular
views of both majestic Himalayan peaks and White
Water Rivers. The local ethnic minorities such
as Magars, Thakalis and Gurungs still love to be
in convention and speak their own language.
Dhaulagiri (White Mountain), separated from the
Annapurna region by Kali Gandaki Gorge (deepest
in the world) includes some fifteen peaks above
7000mt. This is a challenging trek, which will
reward you with the opportunity to camp on a
glacier.
Magdi Glacier, Dhaulagiri Base camp (4750m),
French Pass (5360m) (highest point of the trek)
including the several peaks such as Putali Himal
and Tukuche Peak gives you an excellent view of
Dhaulagiri range. A hidden snow valley (after
crossing French pass) gives you a heavenly test
of white world. The Dhampus Pass between Tukuche
peak and Thapa peak is another haven in the
trip. |
