Overview
Mount Annapurna I expedition is rarely attempting in a mountain, the world’s most treacherous mountains to climb. First Annapurna is only the tenth tallest mountain in the world, but it ranks as one of the most dangerous. The mountain is located in Nepal along a 55-kilometer (34-mile) ridge just east of the Gandaki River, which has carved one of the deepest river gorges in the world.
For the first time in the expedition history, Maurice Herzog led a French expedition to its summit through the north face in 1950, making it the first eight-thousand-meter peak ever successfully climbed. The entire Annapurna massif and surrounding area are protected within the 7,629-square-kilometre (2,946 sq mi) Annapurna Conservation Area, the first and largest conservation area in Nepal.
The word “Annapurna” is derived from Sanskrit meaning the giver of food and nourishment. Anna signifies “food” or “grains” and pūrṇa signifies “full, complete, and great. It is accepted that Mount Annapurna in the Himalayas is named after her as the goddess is accepted to be one of the little girls of Himavat, the lord of the mountains. The Western world names her the “Hindu God of Cooking,” thinking of her as having a relationship with food things. The Annapurna Conservation Area is home to several world-class treks, including Around Annapurna Trek and Annapurna Sanctuary .
The Annapurna summit at 8,091m offers a gorgeous view of Annapurna mountain itself and some other supreme mountains that include mountains Dhaulagiri, Fish Tail, Lamjung Himal, Tukuche Peak, Nilgiri – Blue Mountain, and Manaslu peaks. The summit of Annapurna is a really aesthetic point with stunning 360º views and nothing higher around. The mighty Annapurna is difficult to climb comparing other greatest peaks in the Himalayas.
Annapurna I has the greatest fatality rate of all the 14 eight-thousanders. As of March 2012, there have been 52 deaths during ascents, 191 successful ascents, and nine deaths upon descent. The ratio of 34 deaths per 100 safe returns on Annapurna I is followed by 29 for K2 and 21 for Nanga Parbat.

Therefore, before climbing the Annapurna summit, we advise you highly that you complete at least two to five international or high-altitude climbing expeditions. Vinson Mount, Aconcagua, Denali, and Himalayan mountains such as Tent Peak (Tharpu Chuli) , Chulu East Peak , and Lobuche East Climbing are all marvelous preparation.
Guided or non-guided
A coordination just undertaking will be less expensive yet you should act naturally sufficiently on the mountain. Guiding trips clearly incorporate an episode for the guide, which is more costly for a western guide compared to a Nepali Sherpa Guide.
Bottled oxygen or not
The vast majority is bottled oxygen yet for the rare sorts of people who don’t, it’s saving. One bottle costs around US$ 465 and most customers utilize seven on a standard endeavor.
