Dhaulagiri Trekking
Dhaulagiri Trekking means an exploration of the wild. Recently reopened this thrilling region shows its long kept secrets, like the Gandaki Gorge, the deepest Gorge in the world!! Dhaulagiri means "white mountain" though many mountains over the world have names, which translate to White Mountain; this is without doubt the most astonishing one.
Dhaulagiri Trekking provides massive mountains range of Dhaulagiri consisting of fifteen 7000m peaks. Trekking of the main paths is not only possible, but can be immensely rewarding, though you do need a sense of adventure and an increased ability to deal with unexpected. Geographically, it is a land of dramatic contrast. Trekking around the giant Himalayan Peak Dhaulagiri, “Eight highest mountain of the world” is one of the most challenging treks. Dhaulagiri trekking goes through challenging mountain passes, crossing over French pass (5360 meter) and Thapa Pass (5200 meter); it is a challenging walk on an icy track. Trekking of the main paths is not only possible, but can be immensely rewarding, though you do need a sense of adventure and an increased ability to deal with unexpected. The best time to Dhaulagiri Trekking is beginning of March to end of May and beginning of September to end of December. You can customize the details of itineraries as per your desire and holidays.

I’ve just retuned to Kathmandu competing the Annapurna circuit trekking organized by Outshine Adventures. They provide me with an excellent guide Pralhad and porter Hari. They took care of me for over 15 days. First going at the adjective pace and then selecting very good guest house all the way until Pokhara. Pralhad also answered all my too many questions about Nepal, its culture and its people.
