Round Dhaulagiri is one of the challenging high altitude treks in Nepal. This trek offers a close-up view of the huge snowy peak of Dhaulagiri mountain and a unique experience in the rugged mountain terrain. We start our travel by bus from Kathmandu to Pokhara and head west to Beni (Baglung).We follow part of the trail about 3 days towards Dhorpatan and turn north to the base camp of Dhaulagiri. Low hills with terraced rice fields and villages gradually give way to a rugged mountain landscape. In about 7 days of trek we reach the base camp. We traverse from base camp to the steep and long ridges in higher altitude. We cross the bridge at French pass and descend to Marpha. Continue to traverse in snow condition until we cross the pass. Because of the wind, altitude and snow the visibility is usually very low while crossing the main ridge. After crossing the pass we descend to a high pastureland for overnight camp. Next day we make further steep descend to the main trail leading to Jomsom. Next day morning we catch a flight from Jomsom to Pokhara and travel to Kathmandu.
Travelers should be well prepared to walk in snow for an extended period over a week and be prepared for rough weather. Previous trekking experience in the mountain is necessary. Trekkers should be physically fit.
