Dhaulagiri Expedition

Overview

Located in the northwest of the Myagdi region of Nepal, Dhaulagiri is the seventh highest mountain in the world, and the fifth highest mountain in Nepal. Mt. Dhaulagiri is one of the most formidable peaks to climb, with the first successful summit only occurring in 1960 by a Swiss team via the Northeast ridge. This mountain was first sighted by the British surveyors in India in the early 1800s, but remained virtually unknown until a Swiss aerial survey in 1949. Until the early 1980s, only the approach on the Northeast ridge had been successfully climbed. In terms of rise above the terrain, Dhaulagiri is unparalleled. It rises 7000m over Kali Gandaki valley over a horizontal length of 30km.

Although the vast majority of ascents to date have been via the first ascent route (considered to be the “Normal Route”), ascents have been made from almost every direction. Dhaulagiri has 5 ridges and south and west faces, which rise 4000m above their Base Camps, offering opportunities to develop many interesting routes from the Italian, Swiss and French camps. As of 2007, there had been 358 summit ascents of Dhaulagiri and 58 climbing fatalities on the mountain. Due to its technically challenging routes, the lack of big commercial expeditions is one of the more attractive qualities of Dhaulagiri, as only seasoned mountaineers seem to have interest in this formidable mountain.

Snow Leopard Trek is pleased to offer this unforgettable and highly exciting mountain expedition in Mt. Dhaulagiri as a world-class equipped and managed project. We provide comprehensive services organizing all necessary permits, climbing documentation, travelling logistics (including airfares, ground transportation, and porters), and other individual services required by mountaineers.
