(Challenging level) - 27 day trip

Dhaulagiri, in central Nepal, is the world's eighth highest peak and along with Annapurna I, stands as a sentinel over the Kali Gandakhi River, which forms the deepest river valley on earth. This challenging trek takes you to spectacular wilderness areas as we travel around the entire Dhaulagiri massif and along valleys that are little-travelled by locals, let alone by trekkers. The contrast of cultures, landscapes and outstanding mountain views as we circle this vast Himal provide the attributes that make this one of the best extended treks in Nepal. This trek will more than satisfy those who want to view the beautiful Annapurna Range but also want a challenging trek. The remote wilderness areas of the Dhaulagiri Himal, the forests and traditional villages, two spectacular high pass crossings and a glacial traverse, will more than satisfy the most intrepid traveller.
