Trip overview
Kathmandu - Pokhara - Base Camp - Pokhara - Kathmandu
Why go there?
Dhaulagiri has 5 ridges, south and west sides, most climbers use the first route, which is known as the “Normal Route”. The northeast route is also considered a common route. The first ascent was accomplished by a team of Swiss-Austrian climbers led by Kurt Diemberger, who were the first to reach the summit on May 13, 1960. All routes are designed for climbers with extensive mountain experience. The base camp is established at around 4,750 m, followed by three camps before reaching the summit. The first camp is at an altitude of 5850 m, camp 2 is at an altitude of 6400 m, and the last camp is at an altitude of 7400 m.
