Dhaulagiri Expedition

The seventh highest Himalayas in the world, Fixed Departure confirmed to start from Beni and end in Jomsom. Dhaulagiri is located in north-central Nepal. Dhaulagiri (8167m.) was first climbed by the Swiss in 1960. Its name is derived from the Sanskrit "Dhavala" means "White" and giri is "Himalayas " The Himalayas were sighted by British surveyors in India in the early 1800s and were mapped by one of the secret Indian surveyors, the pundits, in 1873, but the region remained largely unknown until a Swiss aerial survey in 7th highest Himalayan in the world is considered an interesting peak with more than six different routes. The normal climbing route is considered a reasonable climb with only short technical climbing sections and moderate avalanche danger. The South and West faces of Dhaulagiri both feature massive drops; each rises over 4000 meters from its base, and each has been the site of epic climbs. The tangled topography of twisting ridges, glaciers, and ice falls is crested by a stretch of thirty miles. Several pyramid-shaped peaks rise along the main crest. Four of the summits, numbered form east to west, rise above 25,000 feet.
