Dhaulagiri Circuit Trekking:

Dhaulagiri circuit trek in one of the best trekking route in Nepal so this trek Start from Beni on the Kali Gandaki and follows the Kali gandaki River westwards to Darbang before turning north along a tiny trail that leads though forest into high country. Much of the route is over snow and glaciers, crossing the French Col at 5240m, going through the Hidden Valley and crossing the 5155m Dhampush Pass. The trek passes Batase Danda (windy hill), where it is usually as windy as the name suggests, then descends steeply to Marpha in the Kali Gandaki valley. This trek is very adventures and panoramic trek compare to the other trekking routes of Nepal, we have some pictures here recently I attached, so I recommend to do this trek only sep-November and April-May.
