Mt.Dhaulagiri Himalayas is 7th highest mountain peak in the world and 6th highest in Nepal, Mt.Dhaulagiri Himalayas stands tall at an elevation of 8167 meters (26795 feet) above sea level. This spectacular peak’s the name means, benignly enough, the “White Mountain” but Dhaulagiri has come to be known as the mountain of storms and sorrows.
It forms the eastern anchor of the Dhaulagiri Himal, a subrange of the Himalaya in the Dhaulagiri Zone of north-central Nepal. It lies northwest of Pokhara, an important regional town and tourist center. Across the deep gorge of the Kali Gandaki to the east lies the Annapurna Himal, home to Annapurna I, one of the other eight-thousanders.
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 buttressed by five ridges which offer 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.
Mt.Dhaulagiri is a true giant, and this is because its mass towers 7000m above the depths of the Kali Gandaki Valley - that happens to be the deepest gorge in the world. This mountain has been both exhilarating, for those that reached the summit and disappointing for those that failed. It can be a wild and stormy climb to the peak. It is definitely only for experienced climbers and not for beginners. There are several routes to the summit, but all require some technical skills, physical and mental challenges.
Mt. Dhaulagiri Expedition is although the first of the 8000-meter peaks to be attempted by the French in 1950, who abandoned their bid in favor of Annapurna I, ironically it was the very last 8000-meter peak in Nepal to be climbed. Book “ANNAPURNA-I”
In 1960 that a massive Swiss attempt was successful via the northeast spur. Supplied by a small glacier plane piloted by Ernst Saxer, the expedition finally ended the golden decade of Nepal’s giants by putting four Europeans and two Sherpas on the summit on 13th May 1960. which has been the normal route of the expedition for most of the climbing to date.

Dhaulagiri First Ascent - Kurt Diemberger, Albin Schelbert, Ngawang Dorje and Nima Dorje-- Peter Diener and Ernst Forrer On Dhaulagiri Summit May 13, 1960
Mt. Dhaulagiri is part of the Dhaulagiri massif in Nepal extends 120 km (70 mi) from the Kaligandaki River and west to the Bheri River. The mountain's name is derived from the Sanskrit word “dhawala” meaning dazzling, white, or beautiful and “giri” meaning mountain. Dhaulagiri has come to be known as the mountain of storms and sorrows. Mt. Dhaulagiri is located in the northwest of the Myagdi district in mid west Nepal.
The normal route is via Northeast Ridge, the original route climbed by the Swiss-Austrian expedition in 1960. Typically 4 camps will be set up for climbing. The Advance Base Camp is established at 5,300m, just to deposit the gear but it will not be used as an overnight camp due to avalanche danger. Hence the Base Camp 4750m will be used as Advance Base Camp for Accommodation and meal purpose.
Camp 1 5,900m on the Col east from the ABC. Along this trail, you will suffer for some avalanche risk as well as crevasses danger. You must be aware of the risks and difficulties. Must be roped up each climber and guide and helmet.
Camp 2 6,400m, which is reached from camp 1 with some steep climbing sections. The ropes shall be fixed and you need some technical climbing experience with the support of your Guide and climbing Sherpa. You need 1 semi-technical Ice Axe as usual.
Camp 3 (7400m) will be located towards the west with steep ice and snow climbing along the ridge of Mountain. Gradually ups and downs will be done several times. You climb towards the East Ridge, where you likely experience strong wind conditions before reaching camp 3. This is the most difficult part of the climb.

High-altitude illness is due to a decrease in oxygen at high altitude.
Atmospheric pressure decrease as altitude increases but the percentage of oxygen in the air remains constant; as a result, the partial pressure of oxygen decreases with altitude and is at 5500m (18000 feet) is about ½ of that at the sea level.
High-altitude illness is seen in people in people who have recently arrived at high altitude or have just gained altitude, and may start any time from few hours to a few days after ascending. High altitude is arbitrarily defined as altitudes higher than 3.000 m (10.000 ft). people with heart and hung decreases may have difficulty at lower altitudes and, rarely, a healthy, a healthy person will develop altitude illness at as low as 2500 m (8.200 ft)....
