Trip Overview

The Mt. Dhaulagiri Himalayas, which rises to a height of 8167 meters, is the seventh-highest summit in the world (26795 feet). The term Dhaulagiri, while benignly referring to the “White Mountain,” has come to be associated with storms and sadness. The Dhaulagiri Expedition costs USD 9,500 per person and lasts for approximately seven weeks (47 Days) as part of Makalu Adventure’s Silver Jubilee Offer. There are other ways to reach the top of Mount Dhaulagiri, but the Northeast Ridge is the one most frequently used by Dhaulagiri Expeditions.

Ironically, the French tried Mt. Dhaulagiri expedition first among the 8000-meter summits in 1950 but gave up in favor of Annapurna I, making it the final 8000-meter mountain in Nepal to be scaled. A significant Swiss attempt that used the northeast spur was accomplished in 1960. The expedition eventually put a stop to the golden era of Nepal’s giants by placing four Europeans and two Sherpas on the summit on May 13, 1960, with the assistance of a tiny glacier aircraft flown by Experienced Pilot.
