Annapurna expedition

The Annapurna expedition is an outrageous climbing adventure in one of the most remote location of the world renowned for its unspoiled nature, society and civilization. The Annapurna Himalaya range is home of 16peak of 6000meters and 13 peaks of 7000meters along with small peaks of 5000meters and below. The Annapurna massif residing towards the northern central side of Nepal is famed for its Annapurna I peak of 8091meters elevation which is tenth highest summit of the world. Annapurna Himalaya range covers the 55 kilometers of area enclosed by Pokhara city on the south, Marshyangdi River on the north and Kali Gandaki River on the west. There is a hidden valley on the foothills of Annapurna known as Annapurna Sanctuary which resembles a water sink.
The Annapurna expedition travels through the traditional salt trading route of Nepal and Tibet which is the oldest of the country. The Annapurna region is the shelter for Hinduism, Bon-Po religion, Buddhism, Tibetan Mahayana Buddhism along with other ancient traditional highland society and tribes. The climbers pass through the Valley of Marshyandi River towards the northern zone on the foothills of Annapurna massif. The regular mapped route for Annapurna climbing expedition is done from the northeast ridge of western side. The Annapurna expedition required three high camps beside the base camp. During Camp I till Camp II there is a risky zone with a very unstable glacier that is always ready to crash which is the main reason for avalanche in this region. There is a challenging climbing over the 72 degrees of steep ice done with fixed ropes with crashing risk. The final climb from Camp-II towards Camp-III requires navigational switchbacks over the snow arena leading towards the summit above the uncovered ridge that doesn’t need ropes. The successful ascent on the summit is done on the free climbing over top. The climber can descend their way back to base camp following the same route they came for safe descent or they can followed other routes if they have earlier plans.
