Dhaulagiri is one of the most popular
8000m. peaks for climbing in Himalayas. The seventh
highest mountain in the world, Dhaulagiri, lies on north
– west of Pokhara culminating high point at its eastern
end. Dhaulagiri is almost uninque in the world in terms
of its rise above local terrain, it rises 7000m. over
Kaligandaki gorge 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.
When Dhaulagiri was first discovered in 1808, it was
thought to be the highest mountain in the world for the
westerners. It remained as highest peak for 30 years
before its place was taken by Kanchanjunga. Dhaulagiri
means white mountain which justifies a magnificent peak
rising as a giant shoulder of shining ice and snow. The
South and West faces of Dhaulagiri both feature massive
drops; each rises over 4000 meters from its base, and
each has been the site of historical climbs. The peak
was first conquered in 1960 by a Swiss / Austrian
expedition team via North East Ridge which has been the
normal route of ascent for most of the climbing to date.
Dhaulagiri is buttresses by five ridges which offers the
possibilities of different routes of ascent though six
different routes have been established for climbing so
far. |
