DHAULAGIRI HIMAL

This is another large region stretching about 50km over the Kali Gandaki River to the west of the Anapurna Himal. The Dhaulagiri range features several peaks. Dhaulagiri I is the sixth highest peak of Nepal and the world's seventh. It towers above the 'welltrekked' Muktinath trail up to the Kali Gandaki valley. This vast massif screens the hidden land of Dolpo on its northwest. Following the river upstream, the trail passes through the ferns, oakforests, other deciduous trees and junipers. In spring the trail passes through the rhododendron blooms and other wild flowers. Even on the high mountain passes above the tree line, the trail passes through alpine flowers dotting the windswept ground. The range has 15 peaks of above 7000 meters, with Dhaulagiri I(8167m) as the main peak. A great significance of this trek is the French pass(5360m). Trekkers must be aware of the health of their group members, especially on the section between French pass and Dhampus pass(5250m). Dhaulagiri I withstood challenges of many climbing parties and became known as a difficult peak. Finally in 1960, a Swiss party succeeded in reaching its summit II - VI, Churen Himal(7371m), Putha Hinchuli(7246m), Gurja Himal (7193m) etc.
The area in west Nepal is a popular place for trekkers. The Dhaulagiri region is a land of dramatic contrast. It extends from the near tropical Pokhara valley to the steep slope of the snow-capped Himalayas. The region is considered to be one of the most remote places of the country and there are many high mountain passes. This makes the trans-Himalayan trek rather quiet, but full of adventure and excitement.
A circuit of the Mt. Dhaulagiri(8167m) massif is possible for well-equipped and fully self-sufficient group of trekkers. The trek is started at Beni, the district headquarter of Myagdi. Magars are the dwellers of this area. This group of hill dwellers are similar in many ways to their Gurung neighbours but are thought to have settled in Nepal some time earlier. Like their Gurung cousins, the Magar have a tradition of service in Gurkha regiments. The Dhaulagiri trail follows the Myagdi Khola. Passing through the settlements of Darbang and Muri, the country is still quite heavily populated with scattered villages and farming land. Beyond Muri, the Myagdi Khola swings north and the landscape becomes much more rugged and sparsely populated. The thrilling region has shown its long kept secrets, since reopened of the places like the Gandaki Gorge, the deepest Gorge in the world!! Dhaulagiri means "white mountain". Although many mountains all over the world have names, which translated mean 'White Mountain', but this is without doubt the most astonishing one.

Rafting is a great way to enjoy your time with family. Do not think you are too old for such stuff or that your child is too young for that. A river trip is different from any other vacations. Where else can you experience the thrill of passing through rapids, paddle waves, play sand volley-ball, relax on your own private sand beach accompanied by sounds of nature, enjoy delicious food cooked for you, and swap stories sitting by the candles on the sand all in the same day?
