Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek Overview

Dhaulagiri base camp trekking begins at Beni after 3-4 hours from Pokhara. Our professional trekking guide led us through the beautiful villages of Darbang, Muri, Chariban, Italian base camp, Dhaulagiri base camp, French pass, Dhumpus pass, and finally reached at Marpha assemble of Annapurna circuit trekking trail. Dhaulagiri base camp trekking is relatively strenuous and requires high-altitude trekking experience in Nepal Himalaya. March, April, September, October & November is the best month for the Dhaulagiri circuit trek. The Dhaulagiri base camp trekking tour required three weeks’ holidays but we arranged it as per the trekkers’ wish and holiday schedule. Dhaulagiri base camp trekking avoids the main trail and therefore is quite strenuous and demanding trekking in Nepal Himalaya. The massive peak of Dhaulagiri 1(8167 m) is very attractive. Since the Dhaulagiri trekking trail has been explored our professional offers according to clients’ desires and trekking itineraries will generate appropriate their holidays in Nepal. Trekking in Dhaulagiri base camp is a lifetime adventure trekking in Nepal Himalaya.
