Trip Information

Mt. Dhaulagiri is the seventh highest mountain in the world at 8,167 metres (26,795 ft) and is one of fourteen over eight thousand metres. Dhaulagiri Peak, which is in Nepal, was first climbed on May 13, 1960 by a Swiss and Austrian expedition.

The way of the first ascent is the normal route of today. There are however two main possibilities to reach the base camp. Both ways start from south at the small town of Beni (860 m) which can by reached by bus from Pokhara and Kathmandu.

The eastern valley is called Kali Gandaki Valley and was chosen by the French expedition in 1950. On the west side of this valley is Dhaulagiri; on the east side is Annapurna. From Marpha (2600m) steep up to Thapa pass, Hidden Valley, French Pass and Dhaulagiri Base camp.

The alternative route is the Mayanghdi valley, which was discovered by a Swiss expedition one year later. Today there are commercial trekking tours that climb on one side, reach the base camp and come back through the opposite valley.

The route between the last camp and the summit does not follow the spur and the French ridge, but follows the ice field that heads directly to the summit and was abandoned by the first ascent because of too much snow. Dhaulagiri Expedition is one of the most popular in world and the best time is August September and April may.
