Description


The Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek is a formidable expedition designed for seasoned trekkers seeking solitude and a true wilderness experience. Starting from Beni, the trail meanders through traditional Magar villages, dense rhododendron forests, and alpine meadows. As you ascend, the landscape transforms into a high-altitude realm of glaciers and snowfields. The journey includes crossing the challenging French and Dhampus Passes, offering panoramic vistas of the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna ranges. The trek also leads you through the Hidden Valley, a remote and serene plateau surrounded by towering peaks. This circuit is less frequented, ensuring a tranquil environment where nature's grandeur takes center stage.
