 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
Max Eiselin.
We begin
our expedition from Beni via the beautiful
Dhaulagiri circuit route to Base camp
at an altitude of 4700m, then place various
camps: ABC (5,800m), Camp I (5,702m),
Camp II (6,750m), Camp III (7,500m) 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.
