The Dhaulagiri height is discovery from Andes in South America in 1809 but Europeans assumes the Dhaulagiri is highest mountain in the world. Before the expedition climbing one should have prepare the acclimatization and ascent climbing preparation of the Dhaulagiri peak. The expedition is an attempt the highest four peaks climbing Dhaulagiri mountain.

Detail Itinerary of Dhaulagiri Climbing Expedition 55 days

Day 01: Arrive in Kathmandu

You will meet and greet at Kathmandu airport and taken to Hotel. We are waiting you at Kathmandu airport with your name. For those joining the expedition in Kathmandu, all team members should aim to meet at the hotel on this day.

Day 02: In Kathmandu

There will be time for us to explore the bazaars, shops and monasteries of this fascinating city. The expedition leader will also examine everyone climbing equipment so that any shortfalls can be purchased in Kathmandu prior to flying to Pokhara.

Day 03: Fly Pokhara

Our adventure begins with a flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara, where we spend overnight in a nice lodge.

Day 04: Drive to Darbang

From here we drive to Darbang via Beni. The road from Pokhara is a rough track and from Beni to Darbang is little more than a scar scratched through the valley, which barely permits the passage of motor vehicles. However, the driving it is less unpleasant than walking amongst the traffic and dust and saves a day and a half walking. We camp at Darbang at an altitude of 1,180m.

Day 05: Trek to Phallya Gaon (1,800m)

In the morning we cross the suspension bridge over the Myagdi Khola, the main valley that we will be following towards Dhaulagiri. We leave the world of motor vehicles. The trail initially follows the west side of the river, before crossing a small bridge over the Dang Khola at Phedi, then climbing steeply up a zig zag path on a spur to reach the village of Dharapani. The trail contours through cultivated and populated hillsides, with a lunch break possibly in Sibang, before we choose our campsite at Phallya Gaon for the night at around 1,800m.

Day 06: Trek to Jugapani (2,000m)

Trek for 6/7 hours on upon and downhill’s passing river, villages and terraced fields with some mountain views like Gurja Himal (7,193m), Konabon (6,570m) and Myagumath (6,273m), Dhaulagiri 1 (8,167m) and Manapati (6,380m) on the way.

Day 07: Trek to Dobang (2,260m)

Trek for 5/6 hours on steep uphill trail crossing small stream and villages. From the camp you could see the east face of Dhaulagiri 4.

Day 08: Trek to Soligari (3,100m)

Today 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.

Day 09: Trek to Italian Base Camp (3,600m)

Cross the Choriban Khola flowing down from the east. The valley suddenly opens up and we begin to see the huge west face of Dhaulagiri 1 and the peaks towering above the west side of the Myagdi Khola. The forest becomes less dense, with more bamboo and eventually after climbing a steep ridge, we come out of the forest altogether and onto the open hillside under the west face of Dhaulagiri 1. This has become known as the Italian Base Camp and will be home for two nights at an altitude of 3,600m.

Day 10: Acclimatisation at Italian Base Camp (3,600m)

Spend a rest and acclimatization day to give us a chance to catch up with domestic chores and writing up log books. It is not a bad idea to do a little active pottering exploring the area and living in awe of something like 4,500 meters of mountain overhead – we will be up there in a few weeks!

Day 11: Trek to Chhonbardan Glacier Camp (4,200m)

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 step, so the Sherpas will run a rope out as a hand rail, 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 is 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.

Day 12: Trek to Dhaulagiri Base Camp (4,600m)

Another fairly short day, taking perhaps 4/5 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. This will be our home for the next five weeks.

13-49

Day 13-49: Climbing/Expedition Period of Dhaulagiri North East Ridge

We have 5 weeks to climb the mountain. From base camp, the route to camp 1 follows a gully to the side of the Icefall. This is fixed with rope and is one of the steeper sections of the climb as well as being one of the most dangerous. Camp 1 is situated at the top of the Icefall on a broad col. Camp 2 is on a small, flat area below an ice cliff on the eastern aspect of the NE Spur itself. The route above camp 2 is steep for 500 meters to reach camp 3, which is located on a rocky ledge. Depending on the conditions, either the North East Ridge itself, or moderate snow slopes to the rightly are followed to a steep couloirs that leads to the summit.

Day 50: Cross the French Col (5,400m) into the Hidden Valley

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 distraction for a rest before descending easy slopes into Hidden Valley, where we find a campsite for the night at around 5,050 m.

51/52

Day 51/52: Descend to Jomsom (3,680m)

From our camp somewhere below Dhampus Pass, we continue along to the west edge of the Kali Gandaki Valley, where we descend to Yak Kharka and then a further 1,000m to the valley floor. It is then an hour walk north east to Jomsom. We then need to make arrangements to fly to Pokhara. 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, so it is now possible to travel by motor vehicle if uncomfortable

Day 53: Fly to Kathmandu via Pokhara

A morning flight to Pokhara, then fly to Kathmandu. We can have a celebration meal out together in the evening.

Day 54: Free day in Kathmandu

A final chance to buy souvenirs or perhaps just to relax in hotel.

Day 55: Kathmandu Airport

Final transfers to Kathmandu airport to get flight back to home.

 Verified Great trek with a great guide
We had a great experience with our guide Narayan, hiking the Manaslu circuit- he was professional and responsible, attentive to our needs, and very knowledgeable about the trail and the best places to stay, eat, etc.. We felt very cared for and free to enjoy the trek without thinking about logistics.

 Verified Awesome ABC Trek via Phoon Hill
This is the second time I’ve chosen Mission Eco Trek Co. for a holiday trip. For this trek, I decided two weeks before departure as a solo traveler. Jitendra, the owner, patiently tailored a customized itinerary that fit my schedule. The trek is a 7-day ABC trek via Phoon Hill. Everything was smoothly arranged, except for the unpredictable weather – of course, that’s always an element you have to expect. Above all, my guide, Sundar, was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, experienced, and genuinely caring. He took care of every detail throughout the journey, which made my trek to and from ABC truly wonderful. During the trek, I even started planning my next one, deciding which trek to take and when. To conclude: what a great experience!

 Verified A very trustworthy company!
I booked a morningtrip to Nagarkot with a 2 hour hiking trip. I had the best time with mr Jitendra who runs the company and was my guide himself. He added some extra’s to the trip (eg the suspension bridge) bc the weather was cloudy and I didn’t have a good view of the mountains (which was my main purpose). He knows a lot about Nepal and is one of the kindest man I met on all my travels. When I’m back in Nepal I will contact him for sure for other trips. Thanks again!

 Verified An Unforgettable Journey to ABC with Mission Eco Trek
I recently completed a one-week trek to Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) with Mission Eco Trek, and the experience was nothing short of incredible. From start to finish, the organization was seamless, allowing our group to fully immerse ourselves in the stunning Himalayan scenery. The absolute highlight of our trip, however, was our guide, Sundar. I cannot praise his contribution enough. Throughout the entire week, Sundar went above and beyond to ensure everyone in the group was safe, comfortable, and happy. What really set Sundar apart was his: • Detailed Care: He was incredibly attentive to the needs of every group member, constantly checking on our pace and well-being. • Attention to Detail: Whether it was briefing us on the daily terrain, managing our logistics at the tea houses, or sharing insights about the local culture, his preparation was flawless. • Supportive Attitude: He has a "super caring" nature that made even the toughest uphill climbs feel manageable. You can tell he genuinely cares about his guests' experience. If you are planning a trek in Nepal, I highly recommend booking with Mission Eco Trek and specifically asking for Sundar. He turned a great trek into a truly life-changing experience. Thank you, Sundar and the Mission Eco Trek team, for the memories!

 Verified The best Travel agency in Thamel
I found this travel agency at almost end of the day, still Mr. Jitendra quickly arranged a group tours for 2days. He gave me a good price which is the best price in Thamel area. He also made sure my 2nd day trip to Bhaktipur and Doleshwar Mahadev is completed when there was no group tours for it.

Whether you are an experienced trekker or a casual traveler, he ensures the trip is "yours." Highlights of Our Trip On this journey, we did a 4-day hike around the Pokhara region. The organization was flawless. Our guides were not only professional and knowledgeable about the mountains but were also incredibly kind and attentive, making sure we were comfortable every step of the way. The views were breathtaking, and the pace was exactly what we had asked for. Furthermore, Jitendra organized a tailored trip to Bhutan for us. Planning a cross-border trip can often be stressful, but he handled everything seamlessly. The itinerary was exactly what we wanted, allowing us to see the highlights of Bhutan while maintaining the flexibility we enjoy.

He stayed in constant communication with us to ensure everything was going smoothly and that we were happy.
