Overview
Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek 2022/2023
Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek is a journey that entails an amazing and adventurous journey around the world’s seventh highest peak, Dhaulagiri Himal (8,167 meters/26,780 feet) in a circle. The area of Myagdi District where this trek is located is relatively remote as it lies west of the Annapurna range. A challenging and equally scenic off-beat trail trek in Nepal, the Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek is also known as the Dhaulagiri Round Trek or the Dhaulagiri Pass, Thapa Pass is a classic adventure for those who have previous experience with high altitude trekking.
It is also worth noting that the Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek is one of the most challenging and rewarding high passes landscapes treks in Nepal. The Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek provides you with a unique camping experience; off-the-beaten-path, narrow rocky trails, glacier hikes, avalanches, rockslides, French Pass, and Dhampus Pass (Thapa Pass).
The Dhaulagiri mountain rises to an elevation of 8,167 meters. This makes it the 7th highest mountain in the world. Due to the technical difficulties of the trails, especially the landslide parts, and the need for rope repairs at several places (between Italy Camp and Japanese Base Camp), Dhaulagiri Trek conducts only a few groups each season.
During your trek in the Dhaulagiri circuit, you will encounter a miserable valley, called “hidden valley”, which is filled with freezing winds and difficult trails. The view from Alu Bari (yak Khadka) is amazing. You can see the Annapurna range, Nilgiri peak 6940 meters, Annapurna I peak 8,091 meters, Tilicho peak 7,134 meters, and Thorong peak 6144 meters, as well as Upper Mustang Valley.
Dhaulagiri Base Camp is situated at an altitude of 4,700 m, and French Pass is located at an altitude of 5,360 m, offering a panoramic view of the Dolpo Himalaya scenery, as well as the Annapurna range and Mustang Valley. A classic Nepal trek, this trek offers all the highlights of a classic trek in Nepal, including the most remote and scenic landscapes one can imagine in the high mountains of Nepal.
Trekkers who would like to add two additional days to their Dhaulagiri circuit trek may climb Dhampus peak and add their peak climbing itinerary, guide, climbing permit, and climbing gear to the Dhaulagiri circuit trek. These costs are in addition to those listed with the Dhaulagiri Round Trek package. The Dhampus peak has a height of 6,012 meters.
Weather in Dhaulagiri circuit trek
There is no doubt that autumn and spring are the best times to traverse the Dhaulagiri pass. This trek is not suitable during the monsoons or during winter. No matter what season you are trekking in Dhaulagiri, you have to remember that mountains make their own weather.
Dhaulagiri Circuit Trekking Route
From Kathmandu, you will be taken to Baglung by bus via the Prithvi Highway. Your journey begins from Darbang when you arrive in Beni, where you will begin your trek journey. You will spend the night at Beni. On the next day, you begin to move towards Muri, making a gradual climb through forest paths. As a result of that, you continue towards Boghara, which offers you a great view of the surrounding mountains. After ascending to Dhaulagiri Pass, Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek trails descend to Pharpha and Jomsom and then return to Pokhara.
While most of the villagers in the village are Magars on the Magdi side and Thakalis on the Kali Gandaki side, the village settlement crosses at the beginning of each village. As a result, the rest of the group can hike through the wilderness and pastures of the alpine regions.

It is considered that the Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek is one of the most challenging treks in Nepal. In my opinion, the Dhaulagiri trek is one of the most difficult treks because we have to organize everything. On this camping trek, you have to carry everything that you need. On the trail, there are no basic accommodations either after the Italian base camp has been reached. 8667 meters (26795 feet) is the altitude of the sixth-highest mountain in the world, Dhaulagiri, which rises to an altitude of 8667 meters (26795 feet).
