Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek is also commonly called Dhaulagiri Round Trek. The journey starts from Pokhara driving up to Beni Bazaar and then trekking through low farming lands to lush fertile and to the desert-like & treeless valleys to the north.
Much of the route is covered with snow and glaciers while crossing the two high passes -the French Col pass (5,240 m) and the Thapa pass (5,155 m).

Dhaulagiri (8167 m), the world’s seventh-highest mountain along with its massive mountain range consisting of fifteen 7,000-meter peaks. The entire Mountain View is truly breathtaking.
