Dhaulagira Base Camp Trek
This is extended and strenuous trek to the foot of Mt. Dhaulagiri through high alpine pastures, higher passes and serene and uninhabited valleys. From Beni we head north-westerly direction towards the villages of Babichour, Dorbang and Darapani to Muri keeping to the banks of the Myagdi Khola which goes into the very center of the Dhaulagiri massif enjoying the first views of the impressive eastern wall of the mountain Once we get to the camp we see the gigantic northern wall as well as the Dhaulagiri, I, III and IV carrying on through the French Pass (5,360 m) and ending in the valley of Kali Gandaki, Marpha and Jomsom. Long closed to visitors for a variety of reasons - including its remoteness, the region west and north of Dhaulagiri was opened to trekkers traveling in organized groups.
