Across High Passes in the Shadow of a Giant

The Dhaulagiri Region is one of Nepal’s most demanding and rewarding trekking areas, dominated by Mount Dhaulagiri (8,167m), the world’s seventh-highest peak. Known for its rugged terrain, remote valleys, and dramatic glacial landscapes, this region offers a true expedition-style trekking experience.

Treks in the Dhaulagiri region traverse isolated villages, vast moraines, and challenging high passes such as French Pass and Dhampus Pass, with breathtaking views of Dhaulagiri, Tukuche Peak, and the Annapurna range. Due to its technical nature, limited infrastructure, and wild environment, the Dhaulagiri region is best suited for experienced trekkers seeking adventure, solitude, and an authentic journey into Nepal’s high Himalayan wilderness.
