Day-12 : Dhaulagiri Base Camp - French Col - Hidden Valley Getting off the glacier above the
base camp often requires rope climbing. Once over the steep moraine walls we reach gentler, less strenuous country.

The broad valley is reminiscent of Tibet and Ladakh and so are the temperatures (at least -20ºC at night).

A rest day to admire the surrounding peaks and does some local exploring.
