Dhaulagiri Circuit
The Dhaulagiri Circuit could equally be described as an expedition, with the crossing of the French Col (5,300m) being notoriously weather prone and serious. On this demanding trek, one of the finest in Nepal, there is also the option to climb Dhampus Peak (6,060m).

Dhaulagiri VII
Dhaulagiri VII is probably the 'easiest' and most objectively-safe 7,000m peak in Nepal. It is still a serious undertaking and would provide excellent preparation for those who want to climb Everest or other 8,000m peaks in the future.

KarakoramIntroduction
Looking for something new? We are passionate about exploring mountains that you may never have heard of. We always try to offer more than anyone else.
We are driven to seek out new mountaineering objectives where few people go and to make first ascents. Most of the following expeditions are either unique to Jagged Globe, are new trips or the aim is to make first ascents (such as on Nubra First Ascents and Greenland Mountaineer). Where we have organised a number of expeditions to a given mountain or range (for example, Antisana or Colombian Mountaineer), you can expect our itinerary to have been tweaked and refined to improve it further. We have also included some trips which you might recognise, but where we have added something special. For example, on our Dhaulagiri Circuit trek, there is also the option to climb Dhamphus Peak (6,060m).
Innovation is at the core of Jagged Globe, whether it be offering expeditions to a rarely climbed 7,000m peak like Putha Hiunchuli in Nepal, or improving the level of service provided on our trips (for example, we were the first company to have a professional chef on Everest). We were either the first to offer the following climbs, or we designed the itinerary completely from scratch, or we took a classic and added something extra to it (like acclimatising on Kazbek before climbing Elbrus).
Expect new trips to be added each year, some of them exploratory or with the opportunity to make first ascents, all of them away from the crowds.
