Mt. DHAULAGIRI
(8,167m / 26,796ft) Expedition
Dhaulagiri is the 7th highest
mountain in the world and one of the most
impressive mountains that lies south of
Nepal/Tibet border. Standing in solitary and
unrivalled splendour, it floats above a sea of
haze, apparently dissociated from the world
beneath. The name Dhaulagiri, was derived from
the Sanskrit word ‘Dhavala’, meaning
white and ‘giri’ means mountain –
“mountain-white” mountain. First ascent of this
mountain was made in 1960 by Swiss/Austrian team
led by proficient Max Eiselin.
We
begin our expedition from Beni after dropping by bus
there and trek via the beautiful Dhaulagiri circuit
route to Base camp at an altitude of 4600m, then
place various camps: ABC (5,151m), Camp I (5,702m),
Camp II (6,630m), Camp III (7,180m) and the last
camp at 7,600m, which is also considered to be one
of most difficult, from where we attempt for summit.
And then upon completion of the expedition we return
via the French col to Jomsom and fly to Kathmandu
via Pokhara.
