22 days Dhaulagiri & Hidden Valley trek, Grade: Demanding
This
is a long, difficult trek around Dhaulagiri (8167m) that starts from Beni. The
trekking route follows the Myagdi Khola westwards to Darbang, then turns north
through lowland forests into the high country. Much of the route is on snow and
glaciers as it crosses French Col pass (5240m). Then we traverse the head of
Hidden Valley, and crosses Dhampus Pass (5155m). The trek ends with a steep
descent to Marpha and a return to Pokhara via the Ghorapani ridge. This trek
provides some amazing, close up, panoramic view of the entire Dhaulagiri massif.
