Dhaulagiri I is the sixth highest peak of Nepal and the world's seventh. It towers above the 'welltrekked' Muktinath trail up to the Kali Gandaki valley. This vast massif screens the hidden land of Dolpo on its northwest. Following the river upstream, the trail passes through the ferns, oakforests, other deciduous trees and junipers.
The range has 15 peaks of above 7000 meters, with DhaulagiriI(8167m) as the main peak. A great significance of this trek is the French pass(5360m). Trekkers must be aware of the health of their group members, especially on the section between French pass and Dhampus
