Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek passes through challenging and tough two mountain passes; crossing over French Pass (5360m) and Thapa Pass (5244m). The trek requires walking on an icy track so it is suitable for mountaineers with some mountaineering experience. Dhaulagiri Base camp, French Pass, Myagdi Glacier are some of the highlights of Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek. The trek starts from Darbang, walking through several dense forests to dry landscapes, treeless zone, yak pastures, terraced fields, waterfalls, meadows with high passes, and steep trails. The trekking trail also takes through Italian base camp, Japanese Basecamp, and hidden valley which is a long and broad mountain enclave which remained hidden behind the giant Dhaulagiri which connects to Upper Dolpo and Upper Mustang. The trail also takes through several villages inhabited by Gurung, Chhetri, Magar, Sherpa, and Limbu giving us a taste of unique local culture and lifestyle of their own ethnicity. The Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek also offers an extraordinary view of icefalls and glaciers from the base camp. The trekking route is off beaten trail and very challenging but it’s worth every penny for those who dream of having such an overwhelming adventure.
