A Photo Gallery of Mount Dhaulagiri ( 8167m )

the world's seventh highest mountain

and neighbouring Peaks

in the Nepal Himalaya



Dhaulagiri was first climbed by the Swiss in 1960.

Its name is derived from sanskrit;

dhavala means 'white' and giri is 'mountain'.

 The mountain was sighted by British surveyors

 in India in the early 1800s

and was mapped in 1873

but the region remained largely unknown

 until a Swiss aerial Survey in 1949.

 The French Annapurna expedition in 1950

had permission to climb

 either Annapurna or Dhaulagiri

 but decided on Annapurna

 after a reconnaissance of Dhaulagiri.

 By 2002, 275 climbers had summited

 on 160 expeditions,

55 climbers having died.
