This region is a new territory for trekkers. Trekking off the
main paths is not only possible,but can be immensely rewarding,
though you need a sense of adventure and it increases ability to
deal with the unexpected. Geographically Dhaulagiri region is a
land of dramatic contrast. From the near tropical Pokhara valley
to steep slope climb to snow capped Himalayan giant. Dhaulagiri
I, is the sixth highest peak of Nepal; It towers high above the
well- trekked Muktinath pilgrim trail up to the Kaligandaki
valley. The vast massif screens the hidden land of Dolpo to its
north west. Following river up stream, ferns and forest of oak
and other deciduous trees and juniper are interesting. Mountain
side of rhododendron blaze with color in the spring, and other
flowers are abundant on the trail, even in the high mountain
passes above the tree line, tiny alpine flowers can be found
dotting the windswept ground.
