Dhaulagiri I (26,795 ft; 8,167 m), The World's
Seventh highest peak
 t 26,7595, this is the
highest mountain that is completely inside the Nepal boundary. This giant peak is also the
highest residual mountain of the world, the only of its kind in the Himalayas (fold
mountains). As oppose to its neighboring peak, Annapurna, trekkers seldomly attempt
to travel to this side of the deepest gorge of the world. The gorge (over 6,000 m 20,000
ft) deep is infact the valley between this giant in the west and Annapurna in the east. Dhaulagiris is perhaps the largest
mountain in base diameter at the base camp. Adventure Makalu announces one rare trekking package to see this rock giant from all the four direction. 1. Around Dhaulagiri, An interesting trek to this mountain is rare and very seldomly done.
