Dhaulagiri (White Mountain), separated from the Annapurna region
by Kali Gandaki Gorge (deepest in the world) includes some
fifteen peaks above 7000mt. The trekking in this area is
relatively strenuous and needs some mountaineering knowledge.
Magdi Glacier, Dhaulagiri Base camp (4750m), French Pass (5360m)
(highest point of the trek) including the several peaks such as
Putali Himal and Tukuche Peak gives you an excellent view of
Dhaulagiri range. A hidden snow valley (after crossing French
pass) gives you a heavenly test of white world. The Dhampus Pass
between Tukuche peak and Thapa peak is another haven in the
trip. An itinerary outline (duration can be 16 days, 18 days or
22 days, depend on your time and interest/ it is better to have
a few days in Kathmandu and Pokhara on your arrival and
departure)
