The first trek we did in Nepal is the “around Dhaulagiri trek”. We did it from October 24 to November 6, 2010.Dhaulagiri (धौलागिरी) which means “white mountain” in Nepali, is the 7th highest peak in the world and culminates at 8167 meters (26795 ft). We were interested in this trek for two reasons: we looked for a low touristic trek and also a trek which could be done independently.
