Mount Dhaulagiri Climbing history in Nepal.

Dhaulagiri was first climbed on May 13, 1960 by Kurt Diemberger, Peter Diener, Ernst Forrer, Albin Schelbert, Nyima Dorji and Nawang Dorji, members of a Swiss/Austrian expedition. The expedition leader was Max Eiselin; they used the Northeast Ridge route which had been reconnoitered one year earlier by an Austrian expedition led by Fritz Moravec. This was also the first Himalayan climb supported by a fixed-wing aircraft. The aircraft, a Pilatus PC-6, crashed during an approach and was later abandoned in "Hidden Valley" north of the mountain.
The vast majority of ascents to date have been via the first ascent route, which is the "Normal Route" on the mountain. However ascents have been made from almost every direction. It is one of the deadliest mountains in the world, with a 40% fatality rate.

Mount Dhaulagiri in Nepal.

Dhaulagiri (धौलागिरी) is the seventh highest mountain in the world. Elevation is 8,176 meters high.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. Dhaulagiri means "White Mountain".

Mount Kanchajangha inNepal.

Kangchenjunga- (Limbu Language: Sewalungma), is the third highest mountain in the world (after Mount Everest and K2), with an elevation of 8,586 metres (28,169 ft). Kangchenjunga translated means "The Five Treasures of Snows", as it contains five peaks, four of them over 8,450 metres. The treasures represent the five repositories of God, which are gold, silver, gems, grain, and holy books. Kangchenjunga is called Sewalungma in the local Limbu language, translates as 'Mountain that we offer Greetings to'. Kanchenjunga or Sewalungma is considered sacred in the Kirant religion.
Three of the five peaks (main, central, and south) are on the border of North Sikkim district of Sikkim, India and Taplejung District of Nepal, while the other two are completely in Taplejung District. Nepal is home to the Kangchenjunga Conservation Area Project run by the World Wildlife Fund [3] [4] [5] [6] [7], in association with Government of Nepal. The sanctuary is home to the Red Panda and other montane animals, birds and plants. India's side of Kangchenjunga also has a protected park area called the Khangchendzonga National Park.
Although Kangchenjunga is the official spelling adopted by Douglas Freshfield, A.M. Kellas, and the Royal Geographical Society that gives the best indication of the Tibetan pronunciation, there are a number of alternative spellings which include Kangchen Dzö-nga, Khangchendzonga, Kanchenjanga, Kachendzonga, Kanchenjunga or Kangchanfanga. The final word on the use of the name Kangchenjunga came from His Highness Sir Tashi Namgyal, the Maharaja or chogyal of Sikkim, who stated that "although junga had no meaning in Tibetan, it really ought to have been Zod-nga (treasure, five) Kang-chen (snow, big) to convey the meaning correctly". Following consultations with a Lieutenant-Colonel J.L.R. Weir (HMG political agent to Sikkim), he agreed that it was best to leave it as Kangchenjunga, and thus the name remained so by acceptance and usage.
Until 1852, Kangchenjunga was assumed to be the highest mountain in the world, but calculations made by the British Great Trigonometric Survey in 1849 came to the conclusion that Mount Everest (known as Peak XV at the time) was the highest and Kangchenjunga the third-highest.[3] Kangchenjunga was first climbed on May 25, 1955 by Joe Brown and George Band of a British expedition. The British expedition honoured the beliefs of the Sikkimese, who hold the summit sacred, by stopping a few feet short of the actual summit.

Mount Cho Oyu in Nepal.

Cho Oyu (or Qowowuyag; in Nepal. Tibetan in Wylie transliteration: jo bo dbu yag; Chinese: 卓奧有山, Pinyin: Zhuó'àoyǒu Shān) is the sixth highest mountain in the world. Cho Oyu lies in the Himalayas and is 20 km west of Mount Everest, at the border between China and Nepal. Cho Oyu means "Turquoise Goddess" in Tibetan.
Cho Oyu was first attempted in 1952 by an expedition organised and financed by the Joint Himalayan Committee of Great Britain as preparation for an attempt on Mount Everest the following year. The expedition was led by Eric Shipton and included Tom Bourdillon, but technical difficulties at an ice cliff above 6,650m (21,820ft) proved beyond their abilities.
The mountain was first climbed on October 19, 1954 via the north-west ridge by Herbert Tichy, Joseph Jöchler and Sherpa Pasang Dawa Lama of an Austrian expedition.[1] Cho Oyu was the fifth 8000 metre peak to be climbed, after Annapurna in June 1950, Mount Everest in May 1953, Nanga Parbat in July 1953 and K2 in July 1954.
Just a few kilometres west of Cho Oyu is Nangpa La (5,716m/18,753ft), a glaciated pass that serves as the main trading route between the Tibetans and the Khumbu's Sherpas. Due to its proximity to this pass and the generally moderate slopes of the standard northwest ridge route, some climbers consider Cho Oyu to be the easiest 8,000 metre peak to climb[2], and it is a popular objective for professionally guided parties.

Hinduism in Nepal.

Hinduism is a complex religion with a vast literature and an enormous range of gods and devotional practises. Annapurna Circuit trekkers are most likely to come into contact with Hindu people in the Kali Gandaki valley and also at Muktinath. Muktinath is a site for pilgrimage for Hindus and Buddhists. Because of the extensive nature of Hinduism even a simple summary would be beyond the scope of this work. Instead, I have simply described the Hindu Gods who are worshipped by pilgrims at Muktinath.

Buddhism in Npal.

Buddhism derives its name from its founder Sakyamuni Buddha. Sakyamuni means 'sage of the sakya clan'. He was the son of the King of the Sakya clan. Buddha however is a title, meaning 'one who is enlightened and will enlighten others'. This title may be applied to any historical or even present day enlightened person. Here Buddhism differs from Christianity familiar no doubt, even if a little vaguely, to many readers. There is and can be only one Christ, but their have been and may be many Buddhas. Christianity is also distinguished in that it has a clearly defined relatively small Scripture, which has remained unchanged for 1,500 years or more. Buddhism, by contrast, has a huge and ever expanding range of scriptural literature, as any visit to any Gompa on the Annapurna circuit will demonstrate. Like Christianity, Buddhism includes the life story of its founder within its literature Before we move on to Buddha's life story, a little explanation of some of the concepts of Buddhism may be needed. Buddhists believe in a cycle of birth and rebirth, extinguished only by 'enlightenment'. Sakyamuni's previous lives as a 'Boddhisattva' are part of his lifestory. A Boddhisattva is someone who has reached the point where his advance in wisdom means that enlightenment is inevitable. There is a lot of technical jargon to master. It's a bit like computers.
