Dhaulagiri, whose name means White
Mountain, is the seventh highest
mountain in the world. An enormous
Himalayan massif, Dhaulagiri is located
in north central Nepal and is the
highest mountain located entirely within
Nepal. After its discovery by the
western world in 1808, it replaced
Ecuador's Chimborazo (20,561 ft.) as the
postulated highest mountain in the
world. It maintained this standing for
nearly 30 years, until the discovery of
Kanchenjunga (28,169 ft.), which was
then falsely believed to be the world's
highest mountainDhaulagiri's crest
stretches for 30 miles, lending
structure to an otherwise tangled
topography of twisting ridges, glaciers,
and ice falls. Along the main crest,
several pyramid-shaped peaks rise. Four
of these summits, numbered from east to
west, rise above 25,000 feet.
The First Climb To Dhaulagiri
In 1960, the Swiss/Austrian expedition
who first reached the summit did so
despite their airplane having crashed
during the approach. This was the first
Himalayan climb supported by an
airplane, although the plane was
subsequently abandoned on the mountain.
Travel to Nepal - a country of amazing
extremes and one of the most popular
tourist destination in the Himalyan
region is known for the Sherpas and
Mount Everst all over the world.
The Dhaulagiri Himal lies south of the
Tibet/Nepal border and the culminating
high point at its eastern end is
Dhaulagiri l. The seventh highest
mountain in the world. Dhaulagiri towers
in solitary splendor. This magnificent
peak rises as a giant shoulder of
shining ice and snow. It gets its name
from the Sanskrit word "Dhavala" which
means 'white' and 'giri' which means
mountain. It was first climbed by K.
Diemberger, P. Diener, M. Dorji, E.
Forrer, A. Schelbert & N. Dorji in 1960.
This mountain was first sighted by the
British surveyors in India in the early
1800s but reminded virtually unknown
until a Swiss aerial survey in 1949.
This White Mountain was first climbed in
1960 by the Swiss following the
Northeast ridge. Dhaulagiri l is
buttressed by five ridges and even up
until the early 1980's only the
Northeast ridge had been successfully
climbed. Dhaulagiri is considered the
most interesting peak among the eight
thousanders. Today there are more than
six different routes established with
variations, and the possibility of more.
