I just want to say a big thank you for a fantastic time on the Mera Peak trek. Mark Rogers (UK) | Mera Peak, Nepal
There is an option to climb Dhampus Peak at an altitude of 6,060m for those with previous mountaineering experience. If you like to climb Dhampus Peak there is an extra charge to cover the cost of the climbing permit.
The Mountain Company has organised fifteeen treks around Dhaulagiri Circuit since Spring 2008 for more information on these went please click on "View Trip Reports" button above.
One of our leaders Adrian Summers has posted his superb photos in a slideshow online on Adobe Spark at "Dhaulagiri Round: Trekking around the Dhaulagiri massif crossing the French col and Dhampus pass"
Dhaulagiri Circuit trek explores a wild, remote and off-the-beaten-track area of the Nepal Himalaya. The trek starts at Beni and then follows the Myagdi Khola river passing through beautiful Gurung villages with terraced fields framed by views of the Dhaulagiri massif.
After walking up the narrow Chonbarden gorge towards Dhaulagiri Base Camp we then cross French Pass into Hidden Valley. After crossing Dhampus Pass we start the long descent to Jomsom and then at the end of the trek we fly out to Pokhara.
