We follow the same itinerary as the Dhaulagiri Empire until we reach the lower part of rhododendron forest. Throughout the trek, you are surrounded by the colossal peaks of the north face of Dhaulagiri I ( 8167 m.). Much of the route is on snow and glaciers as it crosses French Pass (5240 m.), traverses the head of Hidden valley and crosses Thapa Pass (5250 m.). The trek ends with a steep descent to Marpha and Jomsom. Fly back to Pokhara and Kathmandu.
