Dhaulagiri Mountain seen from the village of Kaagbeni in Nepal. Black clouds hover above in the sky, and the silhouette of a rectangular, mud-roofed house can be seen in the foreground. A tattered Tibetan prayer is flying from the roof of the house.
Dhaulagiri, at 8,167 meters, is the seventh-highest mountain in the world. The name Dhaulagiri comes from two Sanskrit words and means “white mountain.”
