The Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek is a challenging and awe-inspiring adventure in the Annapurna region of Nepal. This trek takes you around the massive Dhaulagiri mountain, the seventh-highest peak in the world, and offers stunning views of snow-capped peaks, remote valleys, and picturesque landscapes. The trek takes approximately three weeks to complete, and it is recommended for experienced trekkers with good physical fitness.

The Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek starts from Beni and follows the Myagdi Khola River, passing through terraced fields, dense forests, and traditional Nepali villages. As you ascend, the landscape changes dramatically, with steep gorges, rocky moraines, and high passes to cross. One of the highlights of this trek is the challenging traverse of the French Pass (5,360m) and the Dhampus Pass (5,182m), which offer panoramic views of Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, and other Himalayan peaks. The trek also includes a visit to the hidden valley of the Damodar Kunda, a sacred pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists. The Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek is a truly remote and adventurous trek, offering a unique experience for trekkers seeking a challenging and off-the-beaten-path adventure in the Himalayas.
