Mt. Dhaulagiri is the seventh-highest peak of the world and the sixth-highest peak of Nepal. This mountain is said to be one of the most interesting and the most formidable peaks among the 8000-meter peaks. Mt. Dhaulagiri stands at an elevation of about 8,167 m. This peak has a deep meaning to it, it means “white mountain” but also has another meaning as the mountain of storms and sorrows. This mountain lies in the north-west region of Nepal in the Myagdi district. This mountain extends about 120km from Kaligandaki River to the Bheri River in the west. Dhaulagiri is known as one of the most fascinating peaks to climb. The majority of people follow the first route which is also known as “Normal Route”. The Northeast route is the normal route where most of the trekking is done. The first one to climb this extraordinary mountain was the team of Swiss/Austrian Mountaineers that was led by Kurt Diemberger. They reached the top of the mountain on 13th May 1960. Since all of the Dhaulagiri routes are challenging, only the professional seems to have an interest in this mountain.
