At 8167 meters tall, Dhaulagiri is the seventh-highest mountain in the world. It forms the eastern anchor of the Dhaulagiri Himal, a subrange of the Himalaya in the Dhawalagiri Zone of north central Nepal. It is also one of the “eight-thousanders” — the fourteen mountains on Earth that are more than 8,000 metres (26,247 ft) above sea level. All of the eight-thousanders are located in the Himalayan and Karakoram mountain ranges in Asia.
