Dhaulagiri is one of the most popular 8000m Peaks for climbing in the Himalayas. The
seventh highest mountain in the world, Dhaulagiri lies north ± west of Pokhara
culminating to its highest point at the eastern end. Dhaulagiri is almost unique in the
world in terms of its rise above local terrain where it rises to 7000m over the Kali
Gandaki gorge to the south east in about 30 km of aerial distance. In fact, Kali Gandaki
is dramatic as two eight thousenders, Annapurna I & Dhaulagiri both stand near the
river facing each other over a deep valley.

Daulagiri was first discovered in 1808, and it was thought to be the highest mountain in
the world for westerners. It was assumed the highest peak for 30 years before its place
was taken by Kanchenjunga. Dhaulagiri literally means µwhite mountain¶ which justifies a
magnificent peak rising as a giant shoulder of shining ice and snow.

TESTIMONIALS

  



"We got to hear about your company from Google. Samundra was especially nice and
patient with us. We were very sleep deprived upon arrival in Kathmandu from the US
and he took his time explaining our schedule to us. The trek was awesome. Bhim and
the porters we were very nice. We felt like we were in good hands. It is nice to hear they
work together as a team for many treks. They are a good group. Meals during the trek
were delicious and copious. The cook did a good job of keeping us fed. Camping
service was good. We slept comfortably and were warm in the snow. The tent was
spacious and comfortable. The hotels were good and always clean. The itinerary was
nice, in that we got to see and experience many different types of climate during the
trek, i.e., rainforests to mountain passes to villages."
