This is a very adventurous trekking route in Nepal. It goes through Kaligandaki River (deepest gorge in the world) to the Dhaulagiri region which is a very rugged steep slope with snow-capped Himalayan peaks. Mt. Dhaulagiri I is the seventh highest peak in the world. The vast area screens the hidden river valleys, ferns and oak forest and other deciduous trees and juniper forest. Red rhododendron and many species of flowers are abundantly found on the trail. Tiny alpine flowers are found dotting the windswept ground even in the high mountain passes above the tree line.
Highlights of the Trekking
Exploring Nepalese lifestyles, trekking through glaciers, challenging high Himalayan passes, panoramic views of great Himalayan peaks.
