The tangled topography of twisting ridges, glaciers and ice falls is crested by a stretch of thirty miles. Several pyramid ice shaped peaks rise along the main crest.

| Expenses For Climb Dhaulagiri: The cost for climbing Dhaulagiri will depend on several different factors. The types of accommodation you prefer in Kathmandu and during the trek to Dhaulagiri base camp will make a difference to the overall cost (Budget to 5 star accommodations). The mode of transport you prefer will also affect the cost of your package trip, for example prices vary greatly between flying versus private car/van.
