trip information
Mt. Dhaulagiri is the seventh highest mountain that lies in the northwestern corridor of Nepal in Myagdi District. Mt. Dhaulagiri extends about 120km from Kaligandaki River to the Bheri River in the west and is also the highest point of the Gandaki River Basin. “Dhaulagiri” is derived from the Sanskrit word, “Dhawala and Giri” which means “White and Mountain”.
In 1960, a Swiss expeditor climbed Dhaulagiri for the first time. The ascension pursued an indirect path all around the peak over the Dhampus pass, Tukuche, French Col to advance toward the summit from the North-East Col. This 60-day Mt. Dhaulagiri Expedition will give you a chance to have the best experience of trekking during spring and autumn. Due to its challenging routes Dhaulagiri is mostly preferred by veterans to climb. Less experienced climbers can also trek through this route with proper guidance which we aim to provide.
