Dhaulagiri Base Camp and Dhampus Pass Trekking

Overview

Mt. Dhaulagiri (8167 meters), translates to “big peak” in Nepali or Sanskrit, the reference given to the dome-like big white peak; it is one of the highest peaks in the world. Indeed, before Mt Everest was surveyed, it was regarded as the world’s highest. Trekking around this giant peak along with its neighboring mountains takes three weeks and the trek is not easy.  The Mt. Dhaulagiri circuit trek is spectacular and challenging at the same time. Only trekkers who are very experienced with high altitudes and glaciers walking should take part in this journey. Three Jewels Adventure hosts this trek with an experienced team and professional logistical support and we include plenty of rest days in our itinerary to ensure a successful and safe trek. The trek follows a short drive from Pokhara to Beni and ends at Jomsom, in the Kaligandaki Valley of Annapurna. It is there that we drive by jeep or catch a return flight to Pokhara.
