It was only in 1950 when mountaineering was first opened up with a French team reaching the base camp of Mt. Dhaulagiri at 5,300m. The team could not scale Dhaulagiri but went on to become the first to scale Mt. Annapurna. Being the first to scale the mountain, a pass was named after the French known as the French pass and starting base of the mountain as the French base camp. The Annapuma and Dhaulagiri circuits in Myagdi are among Nepal’s famous trekking routes.
The district derives its name from the meandering Myagdi river around Beni whose source comes from Mt. Dhaulagiri, Dhaulagiri which stands at 8,167m is the highest peak of the province.
