Dhaulagiri (8,167m), the world’s seventh highest mountain, is located in north central Nepal. The name ‘Dhaulagiri’ is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Dhavala’ which means “White” and Giri is “Mountain”. Dhaulagiri’s crest stretches for thirty miles, lending structure to its otherwise tangled topography of twisting ridges, glaciers, and ice falls. Along the main crest, 4 pyramid-shaped like peaks rise from east to west above 25,000 ft.
Pioneer adventure will arrange all necessary infrastructure for your Dhaulagiri climb and summit. We will provide all necessary paper works for the expedition permit, and organize all accommodations before and after the expedition. We organize camp facilities, transport luggage, set up high camps, fix ropes, provide food, high altitude food, high-quality tents, porters, professional Climbing Sherpas, oxygen, satellite telephone, Walky-talky set, counseling, and assistance.
