Overview

Annapurna Massif, which extends about 55 km in length is a collection of over 30 mountain peaks. Prominent peaks among them include Annapurna I, II, III, IV and Gangapurna. The highest among them and the most popular is Annapurna I which is 8091m tall, recognized as the tenth highest mountain in the world. There are over 16 peaks over 7000m and around 13 peaks that are 6000m above in height.

Annapurna I is considered to be one of the most dangerous mountain to climb after Kanchenjunga and K2. The climbing of Annapurna features pretty steep climbs, glacier walking, risks of avalanches and trailing by way of fixed ropes. The dangers of frostbite and gangrene on the ascent are maximum on the Annapurna. Annapurna I was the first 8000m to be climbed via Southeast ridge in 1950 by a French expedition headed by Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal among others.  The south face of Annapurna was first climbed in 1970 by a British expedition led by Chris Bonington.
