Mt. Dhaulagiri Expedition (8167m)

49 Days Spring and Autumn Nepal
Description:

Mt. Dhaulagiri, the sixth highest peak in Nepal and the seventh in the world stands tall at 8,167m from the sea level. The name of Dhaulagiri was derived from two words; “Dhawala” and “Giri” meaning “White” and “Mountain” Respectively. Situated at the Northwestern corner of Nepal, Mt Dhaulagiri touches Mt. Annapurna forming the deepest gorge in the World, the Kali Gandaki Gorge through which the Kali Gandaki River flows. The Dhaulagiri massif extends about 120km from the Kali Gandaki River to the Bheri River in the West.

Dhaulagiri is very fascinating as well as interesting as it has been scaled from all directions despite all routes being very challenging. It has 5 ridges but Northeast Route is considered as the normal and standard route. The first ascent to Mt Dhaulagiri was made by the Swiss/Austrian Expedition team led by Kurt Diemberger on the 13th of May 1960.
