ANNAPURNA TREKKING : Annapurna Dhaulagiri Trek
Remote trek into the heart of Annapurnas and the world's deepest gorge.

Best of Annapurna Dhaulagiri is one of our best camping treks in Nepal; nowhere else you get such a rich feast of spectacular scenery, isolation and varied Himalayan culture. This moderate two week long Annapurna Dhaulagiri trek is both remote and scenic. It passes through many traditional villages, beautiful forests and rarely trekked high alpine pastures, offering magnificent views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. From the Pokhara valley, we gradually ascend through tiny settlements and pristine forests to the alpine heights of Khopra ridge at 3800 meter. The views from our Khopra camp are incredible with the colossal ramparts of Dhaulagiri plunging to the misty depths of the Kali Gandaki - the deepest gorge in the world. Our trail leads further up towards the pristine Holy Kaire Lake situated beneath the awesome Fang Face of Annapurna 1, where ancient pilgrim trails lead to the sacred water.
