Dhaulagiri

A three part documentary from two treks around Nepal?s uppermost western eight-thousand-meter peak. The first part describes the classic approach into the Dhaulagiri massif along Myagdi Khola and over French Col and Dhampus Pass, down to the Kali Gandaki river gorge.It also deals with the dramatic rescue of one of the team members hit by acute mountain sickness. In the next two parts we circumnavigate the whole chain westwards to Dolpo only to return back to Kali Gandaki over Mukut Himal, north from the main summit. The last two parts show the life of Tibetans in the high altitudes of the Western Nepal Himalayas.
