At 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.
