Dhaulagiri ranks as the world's seventh tallest peak. Largest Himalayan massif in Nepal's center north. To put it simply, it's the highest mountain in Nepal. The 30-mile-long crest of Dhaulagiri provides a sense of order to the mountain range's otherwise widespread network of glaciers, ice falls, and winding ridges. Multiple pyramidal summits may be seen rising along the main ridge. In order from east to west, four of these peaks are over 25,000 feet in elevation. The highest of these four mountains, Dhaulagiri I, is the target of our expedition.

The base camp is normally set at around 4,750m, and then three camps follow before reaching the top. Camp 1 is located at an altitude of 5,850 meters, Camp 2 at 6,400 meters, and Camp 3 at 7,400 meters.

The Trekking Day

The day usually begins between 6.30 am and 7.30 am, with breakfast. During breakfast, the crew members make up the loads for the porters. You often start hiking by 7:30 am, though we wait for the sun to warm the air at higher altitudes.

The pace for the day is set at a lower speed. Instead, you will have time to become aware of everything around you and to enjoy it. Our guides are excellent timekeepers but cannot make you rush over the mountains!

The afternoon walk follows a similar pattern to the morning; it is often shorter, and your lodge is usually reached between 4 pm and 5 pm. There is plenty of time to relax or explore the surrounding area until the evening meal is served at about 6.30 pm. After dinner, there is time to chat, read or enjoy a game of cards with our crew. Most members are asleep by 9 pm.

We provide a highly experienced team of IFMGA/UIAGM guides, assistant guides if required, cook and kitchen staff, rope fixing team, high-altitude workers, and liaison officers. Our team is committed to ensuring your safety and satisfaction during your adventure.
