Trip Overview

Dhaulagiri Trek: Major Attraction

Dhaulagiri Trek is a challenging trek that is specially designed for the real adventure lovers and thrill seekers. Embark your way to the seventh highest mountain in the world – Mt. Dhaulagiri and unleash the raw appeal that lies in the towering peak of Dhaulagiri. Also, known as the White Mountain, Mt. Dhaulagiri is a neighboring peak in the Annapurna range. The trekking journey starts from the foothills of Annapurna and goes through a forested area and ethnic settlements to the isolated valley.

Mt. Dhaulagiri is a beautiful mountain that rises just above the cliff of the Kaligandaki valley. Dhaulagiri Trek is an off the beaten trek that lets you taste the wild and remote splendor of nature with a blend of Himalayan beauty. The trek to Dhaulagiri is a real challenge in terms of the altitude gain and rugged path. It is an opportunity to cross two high passes namely French pass and Thapa pass. The walk through the passes is technically difficult owing to the icy path and rocky terrain it possesses.

Explore the Trail of Dhaulagiri Trek

Dhaulagiri Trek initiates with a scenic drive to Pokhara. A few hours drive from Pokhara takes you to Beni which is the starting point of the trekking journey to Dhaulagiri. The trail to Dhaulagiri is a least traveled and off the beaten trail in the Annapurna region of Nepal. Owing to its remoteness, the path to Dhaulagiri is quite rugged and less crowded. In the first few days of the trek, you will find yourself following the Myadi river in the backdrop of Mt. Dhaulagiri. Then you can observe a change in atmosphere that goes barren from lush. You pass the farmlands and ethnic villages to a secluded valley with wild and Rocky Mountains all around.

As you reach the base camp, you can get ready for a challenging day to cross the French pass and Thapa pass. The picturesque views of Mt. Dhaulagiri and other mountains in the Annapurna region look fabulous. Your trek to Dhaulagiri ends with a walk down to the beautiful and charming village of Jomsom. So, are you ready to endeavor the adventure and thrill of walking up to Dhaulagiri base camp? Join Nepal Intrepid Treks to make your journey super awesome.

  • Amazing Experience in Upper Mustang with Nepal Intrepid Treks

    I came to Nepal to do the Upper Mustang trek with my friends in March 2025. We started our trek from Kagbeni, accompanied by my friend and guide. The blend of Tibetan and Hindu cultures was fascinating, and I especially enjoyed learning about the traditions of Buddhism. The people in that area were very kind.

    I was amazed by the monasteries we visited; the entire region was fantastic. The ancient villages perched on the hills surprised us with their unique history and architecture. The variety of colorful paintings and decorations left a lasting impression.

    I want to sincerely thank Nepal Intrepid Treks for supporting our trek, as well as our guide and Lal Gurung, Managing Director of Nepal Intrepid Treks.

  • Unforgettable Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek – Beyond Expectations!

    I did not expect the Everest Base Camp trek to be this incredible, but the Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek I booked with Nepal Intrepid Treks turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life.

    From the very beginning, their top-notch service truly impressed me. I never imagined I could enjoy coffee, pizza, and snacks at such high altitudes. The hotel accommodations were surprisingly comfortable and the hospitality was outstanding.

    What stood out the most were the breathtaking views of Mt. Everest, especially from Everest Base Camp and the iconic Everest View Hotel. Having breakfast with such a view was an unforgettable moment.

    My guide and porter were extremely helpful and friendly throughout the trek, making the journey safe and enjoyable.

    Special thanks to Lal Gurung, Managing Director of Nepal Intrepid Treks, for organizing everything so well. His team made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish.

    I highly recommend Nepal Intrepid Treks to anyone looking to experience the Himalayas in comfort and style.

    Thank you so much!

  • A Truly Luxurious and Unforgettable Everest Trek – Thanks to Nepal Intrepid Treks!

    Man, this trek was absolutely amazing! I never imagined the Everest Base Camp Trek could be so luxurious and successful. It completely exceeded my expectations.

    If this incredible journey was possible, it is only because of Nepal Intrepid Treks, especially the Managing Director Lal Gurung and my fantastic guide and porter. Their support, organization, and hospitality made everything smooth and enjoyable.

    The helicopter ride with the stunning views from the top was something I will never forget. Having breakfast at the Everest View Hotel while admiring the world’s highest peak is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

    The people along the way, the warm hospitality, and the diverse culture of the Himalayas were the top highlights for me. I felt deeply connected to the place and its spirit.

    Thank you so much to the entire Nepal Intrepid Treks team. Highly recommended for anyone dreaming of the Everest trek with a touch of luxury and personalized care.

  • Manaslu Circuit Trek – The Closest Mountain Experience

    I believe the Manaslu Circuit Trek offers the best mountain experience with an up-close view of the peaks with our naked eyes. Thanks to Lal Gurung, Managing Director of Nepal Intrepid Treks, for suggesting this incredible trek.

    During this trek, I got to see Mount Manaslu very closely. I have also completed the Annapurna Circuit and Annapurna Base Camp treks, but among these, the Manaslu Circuit stands out for how near the mountain feels.

    Special thanks to Lal Gurung for being a wonderful guide and providing excellent service throughout the journey.
