Annapurna Expedition (8091m)
Annapurna is a huge Himalayan massif,
the tenth highest mountain in the world. It is lies in the
central-western Part Of Nepal and very famous mountains range
for visiting of thousands of tourists, located In Nepal Himalayas
at longitude 28.15. North and 83.57 east. A French expedition
led by Maurice Herzog explored the kali Gandaki valley in
1950. After deciding that Dhaulagiri was too difficult, they
turned their attention to climbing Annapurna. Hampered by
inaccurate maps, they spent considerable time and effort finding
a way to the foot of the mountain. Annapurna was not climbed
again until 1970, when a British army expedition followed
essentially the same route as Herzog. At the same time Chris
Bonington let a successful British expedition to the very
steep and difficult south face. However, all the routes on
the mountain pose severe difficulties and hence it is probably
why fewer climbers have reached the summit in comparison to
other 80000m peaks. The best climbing season is on April –May
and late September- October.
