Dhaulagiri summit facts & Mount Dhaulagiri Expedition Nepal

Mt. Dhaulagiri Expedition is yet another intact mountain sensation that serenely flames the beauty and majesty of great Himalayas residing among the mountainous settlements to the north western part of Nepal. The beguiling snowy charisma and charm of Dhaulagiri makes it one of the formidable mountains to summit. The elevation of 8167 meters above the sea level plausibly scripts it as the seventh highest mountain of the world. The name “Dhaulagiri” is aptly decided after the physical attributes of the mountain; the glowing snowy white mountain. In Sanskrit lingo, Dhaulagiri splits into “Dhawala” and “Giri” which respectively stand for “white” and “mountain”. A Swiss/Austrian/Nepali expedition team on May 13 1960 successfully climbed the summit through the northeast ridge making them the first ever to do so.
