This is a long
trekking tour to the foot of the Dhaulagiri
taking us to the base camp of one of the fourteen
"eight thousand" of the world, the
White Goddess or Dhaulagiri. We enjoy the
first views of the impressive eastern wall
of the mountain. Once we get to the base camp,
we shall see the gigantic northern wall, as
well as the Dhaulagiri I the III and the IV.
The trekking tour shall carry on until the
French Pass (5360m) and will end in the valley
of Kali Gandaki, Marpha and Jomsom, from where
we shall fly again to Pokhara. Highland lovers
will find this an ideal trekking tour for
they will encounter no population at all during
certain stages.
