It is one of the eight highest peaks in the world.Between the procession of high peaks. Dhaulagiri (8,167m) is the seventh highest peak in the world. It’s a long and difficult trekking around Dhaulagiri – following westwards to Darbang then turning north on a tiny trail leading through forests into the high country. Routes are covered by snow and glacier as it crosses French Col. (5,240m) and Dhampus pass (5,155m).
