Trip Profile: 25 Days Trip
03 Nights in Kathmandu
20 Days Trekking
02 Nights in Pokhara

This reason is basically virgin territory for trekkers. Trekking off the main paths is not only possible, but can be immensely rewarding, though you do need a sense of adventure and an increased ability to deal with unexpected. Geographically Dhaulagiri region is a land of dramatic contrast. From the near tropical Pokhara valley, steep slopes climb to snowcapped heights of over 8100 meters at the northern border with Tibet. Dhaulagiri I, the sixth tallest peak in the world, towers high above the well- trekked Muktinath pilgrim trail up the Kaligandaki valley. The vast massif screen he hidden land of Dolpa to its north and to the west of I are Nepal’s western hills.

Following the rivers upstream, ferns and forests of oak and other deciduous trees and juniper are interesting. Mountain sides of rhododendron blaze with colour in the spring, and other flowers are abundant on the trail. Even on high mountain passes above the tree line, tiny alpine flowers can be fund dotting the wind swept ground. This is also an opportunity to experience the Tibetan Buddhist culture that is through out the Himalaya.
