Our journey starts with another short drive on the dirt road following the raging Myagdi River upstream, passing a number of farm villages and cultivated lands with terraces of rice, wheat or barley, and mustard, after three hours of good interesting drive reaching at Darbang village-like town an entrance or the gateway to Dhaulagiri and towards Dhorpatan and Dolpo area, after a stop for a lunch break, our first-day walk begins on the trails that wind up slowly for an hour to the hills, leaving the Myagdi river way down below, then heading towards cooler area after reaching the top ridge on the outskirt farm village and descend back to Myagdi River after a nice first day walk to camp by the Riverside with fabulous views of Putali and Ghurja Himal, adjoining Dhaulagiri massif chain of mountains during the day trek. And stay overnight at Darbang.

2 hrs of the climb from Darbang will lead you to Dharapani (1562m) from here you get a good view of Putha Hiunchuli, and Dhaulagiri. 2 hrs climb and 1½ hrs straight trail will take you to Sibang. You find plenty of Thakalis and Gurungs in this village. Even from here, you get a view of the Dhaulagiri region and Putha Hiunchuli (5 and a half hrs walk). And stay overnight at Sibang

From Sibang 3 hrs straight trail will bring you to Dar Khola. From Dar Khola, a straight trail of 4 hrs will take you, Muri. The people of this village are known as Kamis. From here you can get a good view of Dhaulagiri and Putha Hiunchuli. After 2 hrs descent, you cross Marshyangdi Bridge. One-hour descent and the one-hour straight trail will lead you to Jugapani. And stay overnight at Jugapani

Ascend steeply for about an hour. The trail is now high above the river valley, etched along the cliff. In any case, the trail is at least 5 feet wide at the narrowest sections. After an hour or so, you will arrive at the smaller village of Boghara. From Boghara, walk through cornfields and ascend steeply to the ridge. The trail then becomes a gentle uphill. Lunch is at Lipshe, a small clearing of the forest used by cattle herders during the monsoons. After lunch continues through the thick forests for 2 to 3 hours (gentle uphill) to Dobang. Dobang is a largish clearing in the forest with two huts and a large area for tents. And stay overnight at Dobang

Today’s walk continues through the forest, a bit like a gigantic natural Botanical Gardens Walk! First, we cross the Konabain Khola and then cross the Myagdi Khola, both on seasonal wooden bridges (interesting!). The path then stays on the east bank of the main valley, reaching Soligari at 3,100m after a few hours. And stay overnight at Soligari.

Follow a trail to the terminal moraine of the Chhonbarban Glacier and enter the glacier from the right. Tukche Peak (6,837m) becomes visible straight ahead; at the far end while the impressive north flanks of Dhaulagiri I (8,167m) dominates the skyline to your right. After a short while, you will reach Italian Base Camp (3,660m), which is also the site of your camp for the night. To the west are the peaks of Dhaulagiri II (7,751m), Dhaulagiri III (7,715m), and Dhaulagiri V (7,618m). Stay overnight at tented camps

We will spend a day acclimatizing to the thinning of the air. It is recommended that your body acclimatizes to the high altitude and be adjusted for higher altitudes in the days to follow. Stay overnight at tented camps

To gain access to the upper valley, which will, in turn, take us to the Chhonbardan Glacier, we have to cross a huge breach in the moraine and the frozen debris of a massive avalanche fan that forms at the bottom of the west face. The initial descent down the moraine slope is very steep, so the Sherpas will run a rope out as a handrail, as much for the benefit of the porters as for the group. Climbing the slopes on the other side is straightforward (if steep); this section could present problems if icy, or if covered in fresh snow. Once in the upper valley, we pass the site of a large bivouac cave and the sites of the American and French Base Camps. The path is now backing on the west side of the river and soon leads us onto the Chhonbardan Glacier, which is completely moraine-covered in its lower reaches. At around 4,220m there are platforms leveled on the glacier’s surface, which can accommodate our camp for the night. This is quite a short day, but it is important not to ascend at this altitude too quickly.

Another fairly short day, taking perhaps 4 or 5 hours to walk up the moraine-covered Chhonbardan Glacier to “Dhaulagiri Base Camp” at 4,600m. Base Camp is really a huge area of the glacier where expeditions have based themselves over the years. Terraces have been leveled on the stony ground and there is a choice of sites depending on who else is around. As at Italian Base Camp, we will spend 2 nights here to become well acclimatized before going over 5,000m.

It’s another day to take some rest today but more importantly a day to acclimatize with the lower air pressure of this region. Views from this place are superb and there is plenty to explore. Stay overnight at tented camps

So now we head towards the Hidden Valley today. The path from Base Camp goes along the north side of the glacier. It is flat for a while, and then it climbs a steep bank to eventually follow the crest of a massive moraine ridge to wide, open slopes that lead to the crest of French Col/Pass at 5,400m. It should take 4 or 5 hours to get there. Cairns, prayer flags, and wonderful views provide a distraction for a rest before descending easy slopes into “Hidden Valley”, where we find a campsite for the night at around 5,050m. And stay overnight at Hidden Valley.

Here onwards we now move towards yak Kharka. Our morning walk leads on the narrow path towards Thapa / Dhampus pass about two hours walk in snow conditions it can take an hour more with awesome views of Tukuche peaks and of Nilgiri’s Himal on the other side of the Kaligandaki valley, after few hours of gradual walk reaching at Thapa / Dhampus Pass at 5,250 m overlooking the deep cleft of Kaligandaki Valley and the Annapurna mountains ahead. From the high spot of this with the panorama of mountains on both sides of Dhaulagiri-Tukuche-Thapa or Dhampus peak, then on the front Nilgiri’s and Annapurna mountain range, after a glorious moment here a long descend to the overnight camp at Yak Kharka.

From Yak Kharka it is still over 1,000 meters to the floor of the valley, but once there, it is only about an hour’s walk northeast to Jomsom. We will stay here for the rest of the day and overnight in anticipation of our flight to Pokhara tomorrow. In the event of bad weather and there being no flights out of Jomsom, the alternative is to walk, jeep, and bus south to Beni. This valley is part of the famous Annapurna Circuit, but a road has been extended to Jomsom and stays overnight at Jomsom

Today we have two choices; we can have our breakfast then fly to Pokhara with a free day in Pokhara or take a drive to Pokhara which might last till 8 hours. After reaching Pokhara we will stay overnight there in a hotel.

Morning a scenic drive to Kathmandu, after a wonderful memorable trip in the high mountains of Annapurna area or we go on a drive to Pokhara then on reaching Kathmandu transfer to respective hotels with afternoon free at leisure. Stay overnight at Kathmandu

Today we shall be saying goodbye to each other. You shall be transferred to the airport at least 3 hours before the scheduled flight of yours by our representative. Hope to have you in this beautiful nation again and again. The trip concludes today. Our representative will drop you at the international airport in Kathmandu for your flight departure from Nepal.
