Dhaulagiri
(White Mountain), separated from the Annapurna
region by Kali Gandaki Gorge (deepest in the world)
includes some fifteen peaks above 7000mt. The
trekking in this area is relatively strenuous
and needs some mountaineering knowledge. Magdi
Glacier, Dhaulagiri Base camp (4750m), French
Pass (5360m) (highest point of the trek)including
the several peaks such as Putali Himal and Tukuche
Peak gives you an excellent view of Dhaulagiri
range. A hidden snow valley (after crossing French
pass) gives you a heavenly test of white world.
The Dhampus Pass between Tukuche peak and Thapa
peak is another haven in the trip.
