Dhaulagiri Mountain seen from Ghorepani, Nepal

At 8167 meters Dhaulagiri is the seventh highest mountain in the world. Its name means "white mountain." It forms the eastern anchor of the Dhaulagiri Himal, a subrange of the Himalaya in the Dhawalagiri Zone of north central Nepal. It lies northwest of Pokhara, an important regional town and tourist center. Across the deep gorge of the Kali Gandaki to the east lies the Annapurna Himal, home to Annapurna I, one of the other eight-thousanders.
