Dhaulagiri Trek: The Last True Wilderness

One of our representatives will pick you up at the airport to accompany you to the hotel. Depending on the time of arrival we will visit some of the most important places in the capital.

Meeting at night at the hotel for the briefing of the entire trip.

Today we will travel by road to the city of Pokhara. The duration of the journey will be around 8 hours. Once we arrive at our destination we will enjoy a walk through the Phewa Lake area.

Today we will dedicate again to traveling by vehicle (about 7 hours). The last section, lasting around 1 hour, will be done walking to the town of Muri.

In this town we will find the Magar ethnic group, the majority ethnic group in the Dhaulagiri region.

We will learn about their culture and their way of life.

Tonight and for the next few nights we will sleep in tents.

Today's route passes through different forests and countryside landscapes among which we will find small villages of the Magar ethnic group. We will also enjoy the views of Gurja Himal, a sacred mountain for the Magar ethnic group.

Night in Bogara.

From Bogara we enter the dense forests of the Myagdi River valley.

It will be several days until we find the population again beyond the shepherds in the area. The wildest part of the trek begins.

Night in Doban.

At dawn we will wake up to the sound of birds and views of the snow-capped peaks of Dhaulagiri II and Manapathi.

During the route we will walk through forests of bamboo, conifers, pines and oaks. Little by little the valley will open up until we reach the Italian Base Camp, where we will spend the night surrounded by the white giants.

Today we will spend the day at the Italian Base Camp to acclimatize. To do this we will climb about 400 meters and go back down to the camp.

Starting today we enter the alpine zone, with rocky terrain and glaciers. At night we will camp at the foot of Dhaulagiri at Japanese Base Camp.

Today we will walk above the Dhaulagiri glacier and also camp on it, again at the foot of Dhaulagiri.

At night we will witness the impressive starry sky of the Himalayas.

Explore the beauty around the base camp.

We leave the alpine area behind to find an arid and much more open landscape. We will cross the French Col and camp in the Hidden Valley, home of the snow leopard.

Today we will wake up with views of Mukut himal, Samdung, Thapa peak and many other peaks of the Mustang region. We will cross the Thapa pass and begin to descend until we reach Yak Kharka, returning again to the forested area.

We return to civilization and pass through the town of Marpha, the most beautiful town in the region, famous for its cider and apple pie.

Drive back to Pokhara, where we will spend the day relaxing to celebrate finishing the trek.

After breakfast, we begin our journey back to Kathmandu by vehicle. The scenic drive takes around 10 hours before arriving in the captivating Thamel, where you will be dropped off comfortably at your hotel.

You will be dropped off at the airport in a car or jeep prior to your flight departure time.
