Discover the journey
Mount Dhaulagiri is the seventh highest mountain in the world. Its elevation is 8163m. This is the highest mountain within the borders of single country Nepal. The name ‘Dhaulagiri’ is derived from ‘Sanskrit’, which means ‘dazzling, white, beautiful mountain’. This is located in Mid-western Nepal, which was first climbed on 13 May 1960. Mt. Dhaulagiri rises from 7000m from the Kaligandaki river on the southeast, whereas it rises precipitously over 4000m on south & west faces. It has five ridges to climb. First ascent was made through northeast ridge, but climbs have been made from most directions. This is a technically challenging routes, so this is one of the most attractive climbing destinations in Nepal. Typically, three camps are set up above the Dhaulagiri Base Camp. Camp I at 5900m, Camp II at 6400m, Camp III at 7400m.
