Dhaulagiri panorama Trek
Dhaulagiri Trek starts from the foothills of the Dhaulagiri region that are marked with spectacular views of both majestic Himalayan peaks and white-water rivers. These areas are inhabited by several ethnic minorities such as Magars, Thakalis and Gurungs who speak their own languages and still adhere to local customs. Our trekking program starts at the small village of Baglung where we will begin our ascent along the banks of the powerful Kali Gandaki river. From here we travel northwards deep into the territory of the Magars, an amiable and unique group of people that still have minimal contact with the outside world. After crossing the 3000+ meter Jhaljhala Pass, the trail winds west into the forests of Dhorpatan, an ancient hunting reserve of the Rana Dynasty. Slowly we begin our descent south into the Myagdi River drainage on trails that offer excellent views of the entire Annapurna range. A natural hot spring awaits us at Tatopani, providing a bit of relaxation near the end of our journey.
