Dhauligiri Region
The Dhaulagiri Region is one of the most dramatic and adventurous trekking regions in Nepal, with remote trails and wild landscapes and close-up views of the world’s seventh highest mountain, Mount Dhaulagiri. This area is still wild and tranquil, and rewarding for those who seek a real Himalayan experience as opposed to the more developed trekking trails. The walks go through traditional villages, through dense forests, glacial valleys, high mountain passes and rugged areas which gradually reveal some of the most beautiful landscapes in Nepal. It is an area that is particularly attractive to the challenging trekker and requires good fitness, preparation and an adventurous spirit. The most popular trek here is the Dhaulagiri Circuit, which is a complete wilderness trek with glacier crossings, high passes and awesome views of the mountains. En route, hikers also get a glimpse of Nepal’s people and one of the least-touristed areas of the country. If you’re looking for something out-of-the-way, challenging and memorable, the Dhaulagiri Region offers you a truly special experience.
