A challenging Dhaulagiri Round Trek at an elevation of 8172m will introduces you to a hidden valley and, the French pass. Literally, Dhaulagiri, the world’s eighth highest peak indicated by white mountain, justifies a magnificent peak rising as a giant shoulder of shining ice and snow.

Kaligandaki George (deepest of the world) will separate Annapurna range and Dhaulagiri Range. The round starts from Kagbeni and, terminates at Darabang.

The sight- seeing of mountains such as Putha Himal, Tukuche peak and, extending excellent views of the Dhaulagiri Range from the French Pass (5360m). The contrast in cultures, traditional villages, remote wilderness and the sensational mountain views are the peculiarities of this circuit trek, will always attract adventurous trekkers- a rarely visited part of Nepal.

Dhampus pass (5200 M) lies between Tukuche peak and Thapa peak and the snow valley after the French Pass introduces us to a heavenly world.

A camping based trekking applies the use of crampons and ice- axes during trekking.
