The most suitable time for Dhaulagiri Expedition:

The best time for a Dhaulagiri expedition is typically in the spring (March to May) or the fall (September to November). During these months, the weather is generally stable and clear, and the snow and ice conditions are favorable for climbing.

In the spring, the weather tends to be warmer, and the days are longer, which can be an advantage for climbers. However, there is a higher risk of avalanches and rockfall due to melting snow and ice.

In the fall, the weather is cooler, and the days are shorter, but the skies are generally clear and dry, providing excellent visibility for climbers. The fall season is also less crowded than the spring season, which can be an advantage for those who prefer a quieter and more secluded climbing experience.

It is worth noting that weather conditions can be unpredictable in the high mountains, and climbers should always be prepared for sudden changes in weather and be ready to adjust their plans accordingly. It is important to consult with experienced local guides and expedition companies to plan the best time for a Dhaulagiri expedition and to ensure proper safety measures are in place.
