Our Dhaulagiri Expedition takes you to the seventh highest peak in the world and the fifth highest in Nepal at (8,167 meters/26,795 feet). The name Dhaulagiri comes from the Sanskrit word where Dhawala means “Dazzling, White Beautiful” and Giri means “Mountain”. The normal climbing route for our Dhaulagiri Expedition is the Northeast ridge. Dhaulagiri is the highest point of the Gandaki River basin. The South and West faces are immense and rise up over 4,000 meters. Most of the Dhaulagiri ascents have been successful from the Northeast Ridge route.

Northeast Ridge route which had been reconnoitered one year earlier by an Austrian expedition led by Fritz Moravec. This was also the first Himalayan climb supported by a fixed-wing aircraft. The aircraft, a Pilatus PC-6, crashed during an approach and was later abandoned in Hidden Valley north of the mountain. Dhaulagiri is buttresses by five ridges which offers the possibilities of different routes of ascent though six different routes have been established for climbing so far. The vast majority of ascents to date have been via the first ascent route, which is the Normal Route on the mountain. However, ascents have been made from almost every direction for the Dhaulagiri Expedition.
