Trip Overview
Besides, Mt Dhaulagiri’s gentle slopes carry a lot of ice, making it Nepal’s greatest White Mountain. But the other 8 thousand in Nepal do display bare rocks and cliffs because snow does not accumulate on their steep slopes. Mt Dhaulagiri also makes the world’s deepest gorge, cut by the Kali Gandaki River, with Mt Annapurna in the east. Lastly, it is Nepal’s first discovered tallest mountain, followed by Kanchenjunga and then Mt Everest.
Climbers usually follow the northeastern ridge to conquer Mt Dhaulagiri, although some climbers have used other routes as well. During Dhaulagiri Expedition, the climbers need to traverse the challenging French Pass (5360m). But you can kiss the mountaintop only after establishing five other camps at different altitudes.
