Why travellers love it

  • The climb via the North East Ridge features steep glaciers, twisting ridges, and three high-altitude camps.

  • Rarely attempted by commercial expeditions, Dhaulagiri offers unparalleled solitude and exclusivity.

  • The majestic Himalayan massif stretches 30 miles with pyramid-shaped peaks and dazzling icefalls.

Trip overview

Also known as the “Great White Mountain,” Dhaulagiri is the seventh-highest peak in the world and the tallest one located entirely within Nepal. Rising steeply above the Kali Gandaki Gorge, Dhaulagiri is known for its dazzling beauty and immense challenge. The peak presents a challenging combination of technical climbing and severe weather exposure. Its remote location, steep ridges and technical northeast ridge demand complete mountaineering expertise.
