Moving
from the semi-tropical regions thick with ferns and forests
through hillsides ablaze with rhododendron into the alpine
wilderness of snow capped peaks and glaciers. This is
a tough, yet spectacular trek surrounded by the colossal
peaks of Dhaulagiri. Much of the route is on snow and
glacier as it crosses French Pass and traverses the head
of Hidden Valley to cross Thapa Pass.
