There is a long difficult trek around Dhaulagiri (8167 m.) that start from Beni on the Kali Gandaki and follows the Marsyangdi Khola westwards to Darbang before turning north along a tiny trail that leads though forest into high country. Much of the route is over snow and glaciers, crossing the French Col at 5240 m., going through the Hidden Valley and crossing the 5155 m. Dhampus Pass. The trek passes Batase Danda (windy hill), where it is usually as windy as the name suggests, then descends steeply to Marpha in the Kali Gandaki valley. From Jomsom the trek continues to the village of Thini, from where a goat trail scrambles over the Mesokanto Pass at 5330 m. The trail is now difficult and may even be hard to locate as this is rarely visited country, but eventually we arrive at Tilicho Lake, a great ice lake, and Tilicho Tal, at 5000 m., at the foot of Tilicho Peak (7132 m.). From the lake trail goes to down to Khangsar via Manang and on to Besishar.
