Annapurna I, the 10th highest peak in the world and the highest (8,091m) among the 30 peaks in the 55 kilometers long Annapurna massif, is a very special peak. The peak is special because it is the first 8000m peak that was successfully climbed by a team led by Maurice Herzog on June 3, 1950, which is even before the official ascent of Mt. Everest by Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary. Also, the Annapurnas are considered the world’s most dangerous mountains to climb as they are very much prone to avalanches and all the available routes pose severe difficulties as the climbers have to pass through big ice cliffs and seracs. The western and northwestern slopes are bound by glaciers that draw off into a great gorge cut through the Himalaya mountains by the Kali Gandaki River separating Dhaulagiri and Annapurna.

The Expedition: The Annapurna Expedition in total is a 53 day expedition. About 32 days are required to climb up and down the summit from the Annapurna North base
