Route highlights
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 Mount Everest by Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary.
Also, the Annapurnas are considered the worldโs 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 Himalayas mountains by the Kali Gandaki River separating Dhaulagiri and Annapurna.
The Expedition: The Annapurna Expedition in total is a 50-day expedition. About 29 days are required to climb up and down the summit from the Annapurna North base camp. Other days are spent walking the beautiful trail of the Annapurna region. Starting Nayapool, following the circuit trail, we trek all the way up to Lete; enjoying the views from Ghorepani and Poon hill en route.
From Lete, leaving the circuit trail we head west towards the Annapurna North base camp past Thulobugin, Hum Khola, and Miristi Khola. Two high camps will be set above the base camp. The summit presents a beautiful view of the massif, leaving you extremely contented. The same route will be used to return until Tatopani, from where we will drive to Pokhara and fly back to Kathmandu.
In Kathmandu and Pokhara you will be accommodated in a tourist standard hotel with the provision of bed and breakfast. During the trek, a full board meal and accommodation are arranged in the lodges, where we stop overnight. During the climb, the accommodation and meals are arranged in the tented camp. You will be guided by experienced and certified climbing and trekking guides and other crew members during the entire expedition.
Apart from the expedition, you will get to enjoy the beautiful views of the mountain range from the very famous viewpoint- the Poon Hill, a few parts of Annapurna Conservation Area, Ghorepani, and other Gurung villages: their culture, lifestyle, tradition, and hospitality, floras and faunas and the beautiful Lake City- Pokhara. Late Spring and autumn are the best seasons to plan this expedition.
