Hi,

I am trying to track down some information about Dhaulagiri Circuit. I understand that it can be done as an extension to the Annapurna Circuit. How much time would I need to do this trek. All the information I have read, describes it as a reasonably dangerous trek.

If anybody is familiar with this trek, could you tell me about your experiences and whether it is as bad as everybody makes it.

Thanks

Paul

There is a basic difference between Annapurna Trek and round Daulagiri. Al around Annapurna, you will find lodges, food an a trail, which can be easely follwed. Daulagiri is a trek with no infrastructure, you will have to carry a tent, stoves and food for several days and its advisable to have an experienced guide with you. I case of snowfall round Daulagiri can switch very fast to a full scale high himalaya expedition and one should be prepared to this.
See Daulagiri not as an extension from round Annapurna but round Annapurna as a little warm up for round Daulagiri.
