Dhaulagiri Expedition

Dhaulgiri : 8,167m
Peak XLII of the Indian survey is named from the Sanskrit ' Dhavala Giri', meaning White Mountain. It is often, and correctly, said that travelers to the Himalaya, when asking the name of a prominent peak, were told it was Dhaulagiri. It seems that when needing a name quickly, the local people chose an obvious one: most Himalayan peaks are, after substantially white.
