Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek is one of the most demanding and challenging treks which requires previous experience of alpine altitude trekking. At some part ice axe and crampons are required and you might even need to wear a helmet as some stretches of path are prone to small rock falls.
Some trekkers dubbed it as the best remote and wilderness three-week+ trek in Nepal which requires both teahouse and camping mode. Dhaulagiri round trek can be extended by adding the side trips like summiting the Dhampus peak (6,060m), non-technical trekking peak. Since it is less-trodden and the approaches are very misleading (paths are often covered by snows), trekking guide is highly recommended.
Dhaulagiri Circuit Trekking follows the less-trodden trail and takes you to the wild vicinity of Mount Dhaulagiri (26,795ft). It is the seventh-highest mountain on Earth and regarded as one of the deadliest mountain to climb. Dhaulagiri was believed to be the highest mountain from 1808 – 1848. (more…)
