The
Dhaulagiri Himal lies south of the Tibet/Nepal
border and the culminating high point at its
eastern end is Dhaulagiri l. The seventh highest
mountain in the world. Dhaulagiri towers in solitary
splendor. This magnificent peak rises as a giant
shoulder of shining ice and snow. It gets its
name from the Sanskrit word "Dhavala" which
means 'white' and 'giri' which means mountain.
It was first climbed by K. Diemberger, P. Diener,
M. Dorji, E. Forrer, A. Schelbert & N. Dorji
in 1960. This mountain was first sighted by the
British surveyors in India in the early 1800s
but reminded virtually unknown until a Swiss
aerial survey in 1949. This White Mountain was
first climbed in 1960 by the Swiss following
the Northeast ridge. Five ridges buttress Dhaulagiri
l and even up until the early 1980's only the
Northeast ridge had been successfully climbed.
Dhaulagiri is considered the most interesting
peak among the eight thousanders. Today there
are more than six different routes established
with variations, and the possibility of more.
