The Dhaulagiri Mountain is divided into 5 mountains known as Dhaulagiri I, Dhaulagiri II, Dhaulagiri III, Dhaulagiri IV and Dhaulagiri V. The difficulty in climbing these mountains is different from each other hence various expeditions were conducted over the years to completely cover the Dhaulagiri mountain climbing.
