|  There
are trekking courses from Myagdi Khola or from Marpha in the
Kali Gandaki Valley to Dhaulagiri B.C. You ascend from the
Myagdi Valley through forests and Magar villages. The hardest
part of this trek is the way from Pakobani (Italian Camp)
to Dhaulagiri Base Camp, because you have to walk on the glacier
for a long time, and some places are endangered by avalanches.
Then, there are two high passes to cross, French Pass (5375
m) and Thapa Pass (5250 m), between them lies the beautiful
Hidden Valley which gives you the feeling to stay right in
between the high mountains. Main peaks are Dhaulagiri I (8.167
m), II, III and IV, Churen Himal (7.371 m) Putha Hiunchuli
(7.246 m), Gurja Himal (7.193 m) and others.

glaciers of the Langtang region. They can be Seen within close
