Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek Difficulty
Trek to Dhaulagiri Circuit is one of the challenging journeys in Nepal Himalayas. This trek will be perfect for that tourist who is fond of real adventure and challenges. The trek will take you above the 5,000-meter high. The air got thinner, and it will be hard to breathe as you go higher. You will attempt uncountable ascent and descent; crossing passes and trodden paths make this trek harder. All these activities will demand strong physical fitness, good health, and good willpower.
Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek is an adventurous trek that passes through the high alpine lush forest with serene pastures and uninhabited valleys. Trekking up to the high-altitude Italian base camp, walking through the glaciers and snow clips, is quite thrilling, followed by the challenging French pass. We will be heading up to the highlands and peaks on this trek. Thus, we need excellent physical condition and basic mountaineering skills for this Dhaulagiri Round Trek.
Altitude sickness in Dhaulagiri Circuit is common in such a challenging trek. You usually will feel altitude sickness from 3500m. Some of the symptoms are as follows:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Difficulty in breathing
- Sleeping difficulty
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Difficulty in walking
If you suffer any of these while you are at a high altitude, immediately inform your guide or someone near you. This can be risky if not treated properly.
Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek Route
Dhaulagiri Circuit trekking trail starts with the long scenic drive to dharapari through Darbang , enjoying the stunning Annapurna. The roads are bumpy, passing through the Beni with Kali Gandaki and Myagdi River Side by Side. Our Trek starts from the Myagdi Khola, passing the Suspension Bridge with Dharapani on its way. We reach Muri village, a beautiful Magar cloyingly laying at the lap of the Dhaulagiri range. The next day we head towards the Sallaghari, descending the Myagdi Khola. Walking through the lush forest and crossing over the wooden bridge, arrive at the Choriban. On the very next day, we trek up to the Italian Base Camp (3,660m), passing through the stunning forest with tempting mountains up above. We have daybreak at the Italian base camp spending by exploring the area. Despite having a cold and dry trek up to the Dhaulagiri Base Camp, we get to capture the spectacular views of the Dhaulagiri Mountain ascending to the French pass. The French pass serves astounding views of Tukuche Peak, Tashi Kang, Mukut Himal, and Dhaulagiri. We use different instruments on our trek today while making our way to the hidden valley stopping by the Thapa pass the next day. Climbing up to the Thapa peak is quite challenging. After spending some time at the mountain, we retrace our steps back to the base camp and head towards the Yak Kharka. Thus, we will be heading to the capital passing through the Marpha, followed by Jomsom. From Jomsom, we will have a short scenic flight to the beautiful Pokhara and, finally, drive back to Kathmandu afterward.
Best Season to Trek Dhaulagiri Circuit
There are two best seasons to trek Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek in the year. During the Spring, the trek can be done from March to May. While in autumn, it can be done from September to November. These are the best season to do Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek.
Each of these trekking seasons has something very different to offer during the trek. It includes different terrain, difficulty, weather, and scenery. In a nutshell, let us tell you about subtle differences you will get in these different seasons of the year. This will suddenly help you to plan your trek better.
Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek in Spring
Spring Season in Nepal falls from March to May and is very stable and dry with a moderate climate. This month, you will experience fairly perfect trekking, which offers a crystal clear view of mountains and sceneries every day. You will see much crowd in the trial as this season is best to climb Mt. Dhaulagiri.
The temperature will reach around 15 to 20 degrees Celsius in the daytime and drop to -4 to -6 degrees Celsius at night. You will also be welcomed with thousands of flora and vegetation that make the Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek more beautiful and enjoyable. This month is also the best to view the decorative rhododendron and may spot beautiful birds.
Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek in Summer
Summer in Nepal falls in the month from June to August. During these months, you will also experience the Monsoon run, which makes the treks nearly impossible. These months usually do not attract tourists to the Himalayas. The rains in the hilly area wash the bridges, slippery trails, leeches, and landslides.
Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek in Autumn
Autumn is another best season of Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek. Autumn falls in the month from September to November. The weather will be perfect, and the view of the surroundings will be unforgettable. During the initial month of September, you may experience the leftover Monsoon. As of October starts, your door to this trek will be clear.
During those months, the temperature will reach around 14 to 20 degrees in the daytime and decrease from -2 to -5 degrees Celsius during the night.
Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek in Winter
Winter in Nepal falls from December to February. Trekking to higher altitudes will be challenging and impossible to cross the three passes during the trek. The temporary Teahouse lodge will also remain close during the winter. So, Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek is impossible to trek in the winter season.
Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek Cost

Trekkers Feedback
Safe and sanitary treks of your dreams
Buddhi Rai led my wife and I (and 9 other U.S trekkers aged 40s to 80) on a trek on the Tibetan Plateau (Mustang) and a elephant-and-rhino safari by foot and canoe in Chitwan National Park in October 2025. We took two other treks led by Buddhi to Tsum Valley (2022) and rhododendron trails near Annapurna (2024). On all three treks, his team put safety first and met each trekker's daily needs, including healthy meals/water and helping hands (and/or rides) when needed. We were introduced to Buddhi by his friend/mentor Sydney Frymire from the Washington DC area and New York. Sydney described her Nepal trek experiences in her (Amazon) book, "How a Cup of Masala Tea Changed My Life." Buddhi and many of his guides and staff come from near Basa, his home village.

Buddhi, Thank you so much for such a beautiful trip. It was lovely meeting you and sharing this experience with you and the team. Thank you for your guidance and coordination with everything. Until next time! Buddhi, I feel very grateful to have received you as a gift from Sydney. There is no need to forget. We will all need our time to grief and feel her memory. Once we are ready, we all will find a way to open the new chapter that she would have love that we all write together! See you soon! From USA.

“Buddhi has been our lead guide and organizer on three Nepal treks since 2017. He has impressed us as an outstanding leader with deep experience and an extremely professional and trustworthy organizer. On our trips, he handled the sometimes-complex challenges and unavoidable surprise situations brilliantly, always finding safe and sensible solutions. I would never choose a different guide for my next trek in Nepal. Ingrid & Hans Schulz” From USA.

Namaste to you Buddhi.
You were and will always be a source of inspiration to me!
Your way of walking “the path” … one step at a time was more than just “guide-man-ship”.
It has been a mantra for reinforcing my life every day.
I hope I return to Nepal as well. ❤️
My memories of the beautiful country and people are etched in my heart forever!
Next time a gentler trek! ;)…
I’m glad to hear your family doing well. Don’t forget to send those pictures from time to time! :)
Sending love to them and you! From USA.
