Annapurna Expedition is a highly risky mountain and the world's 10th highest mountain. Its fatality rate is higher than other mountains in Nepal.
Annapurna is considered the most dangerous mountain to climb because it is considered to be one of the high risks of avalanche-prone areas, many technical sections with a huge ice cliff and suddenly changed the weather. Annapurna Expedition requires highly skilled mountaineer and having patience during climbing. So, we recommended only for serious climbing experience climber. Annapurna meaning in Sanskrit " full of food " but translated as " Goddess of the Harvests ".
We want to express our gratitude to the whole team members of Nepal Guide Treks. Excellent teamwork by the polite and humble group of Sherpa people. Everything was properly managed. We were served good and hygienic food with warm and comfy tents. Thanks to everyone in the team who played their role in making this expedition successful!!

Itinerary Route Map. Meals: All meals Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Annapurna Tented Camp We will spend several days doing climbing training practices. The areas and required fees are as follows:. Notes: a. To get a group trekking permit an application form with other relevant documents should be submitted through any registered trekking agency of Nepal.
Trekking fee can be paid in Nepalese currency. Notwithstanding anything written in above, the Indian citizens can pay in Nepalese currency equivalent to US Dollars. The usual trekking season in Nepal is from October to May. The rest of the year is the monson season and is not desirable for either trekking or expeditions.
Besides the cold and rain, leeches are a problem during the monsoons. If you are going to be trekking to Annapurna, October and November are the best months.
If you are on an expedition to climb Annapurna you will surely have more information than I can give you here from the leader of the expedition. But assuming you are more interested in trekking in the Annapurna circuit region, you can either arrange a trip from a tour agency or do it on your own.
Personally, I prefer to do it with a buddy or two rather than the organized tour. This gives greatest flexibility, and reduces expenses considerably. Most of the trekking routes have "tea houses" where you can stay for a nominal amount each night. These are usually accomodations for a few people to a dormitory type situation. Just try to hike early to arrive in your next village early as it is first come first served. Breakfast is also included.
I find this a lot easier than lugging a tent around. Also, the added benefit of meeting travelers from around the world and living with the local people is much more rewarding to me than being isolated in a tour group. If you want assistance, you can hire a guide or a porter.
Annapurna I was the first 8,meter 26, ft peak to be climbed. Maurice Herzog led the expedition reached the summit on 3 June However, this summit was not without drama. As Herzog and the french climber, Louis Lachenal began their descent Herzog tried to get something out of his backpack.
Not securing his gloves, they fell and tumbled down the mountain face. At the time it was a loss of the use of his hands in the cold. At the end of the expedition it would mean amputation of fingers. Later, Lachenal fell into a crevasse and took 3 members of the team with him. Fortunately it was not too deep and the 4 were rescued the next day. Finally, on the descent to Camp 2 the team was caught in an avalanche.
Herzog was roped to two Sherpas, and when they came to the bottom of the avalanche Herzog found himself swinging upside down in a couloir with a rope strangling him around the neck. Luckily he was rescued by other Sherpas. The mountain was not summited again until when a British Expedition led by Henry Day made the summit. A few days later the peak was again summited by an expedition led by Chris Bonington. Don Whillans and Dougal Haston were on this expedition and were the first to summit via the south face.
Courtesy of jck : Very important ascent was the third one made by British expedition led by Christian Bonington in They climbed left pillar of south wall and the summit was reached by Don Whillans and Dougal Haston. In that time it was incredible achievment. During one day,in very difficult terrain and strong wind Whillans and Haston climbed the top from the camp at without using oxygen.
They proved that's possible to climb very difficult route on high altitude without using oxygen. Experiences from that expedition had significant meaning for next expeditions on other m peaks' walls. Since that time many new routes have been climbed. Worth mentioning are:second ascent of summit little bit east from main summit made in by Maciej Berbeka and Boguslaw Probulski via right south pillar, Reinhold Messner's route from the north-west side and Kukuczka and Hajzer's route on east ridge of east summit of Annapurna on 13th of October Annapurna I is one of the most fatal of all meter peaks.
As of , there have been only successful summit attempts, and 56 lives have been lost on the mountain, many by avalanche. The Annapurna Conservation Area is a well known trekking region. There are three major trekking routes in the Annapurna region: the Jomson Trek to Jomsom and Muktinath, the Annapurna Sanctuary route to Annapurna base camp; and the Annapurna Circuit, which circles the Annapurna Himal itself and includes the Jomsom route.
The trails pass through the forested area, overlooking the spectacular Annapurna massif. Furthermore, the trails pass through the natural landscapes, terraced paddy fields, and Rupsi waterfall to arrive at the natural hot water springs of Tatopani.
Dipping in the hot waters of Tatopani will relax your mind, muscles, and nerves. The total distance from Tatopani to Ghorepani is about 14 km and takes around hours to complete.
Ghorepani village is famous for its awe-inspiring views of sunrise and Annapurna mountain range. There are several suspension bridges over the Kali Gandaki river. The uphill climb is steep for a few hours and then gets relatively easy. After hours of trekking, we arrive at Ghorepani.
Poon Hill viewpoint provides trekkers with an incredible fantastic panoramic sunrise view overlooking the entire Annapurna range. The uphill climb has a total distance of 3 km and takes around hours to complete. The trail leads us back to Ghorepani from where we drive back to the lake city of Pokhara. The scenic drive to Pokhara takes further hours. Pokhara is a tourist city with many hotels, restaurants, cafes, pubs, etc.
Annapurna Circuit trek ends with a drive back to Kathmandu to Pokhara. The hours drive covers around a distance of km. The scenery provides you with green landscapes and the view of the snow-capped mountains.
The transportation used and the starting point of the trek also determines how long is the Annapurna Circuit. You can customize the trek and take the jeep drive directly to Syange or Chame and reduce the trek itinerary by a few days. There are some individual sections of the trek where you can take a jeep ride.
These newly constructed roads are not in great condition but you can manage. So, taking a jeep or any vehicle available will reduce the total trekking days. Moreover, you will also get to observe the beautiful scenarios of the hilly landscapes, terrace farms, charming villages, and magnificent mountain views, and others.
Besides that, you can also take the flight from Jomsom to Pokhara. This will reduce the total distance and itinerary of the trek as your trip comes to an end at Jomsom. Hiring a porter reduces the difficulty of the trek by a significant amount. It is incredibly hard to trek with heavy weight on your back. The porter can carry the weight of your clothing and gear. So, if you are trekking in the high altitude region for the first time or are not comfortable trekking with a backpack, you should hire a porter.
You can thus enjoy the trek and complete it with ease. Trekking in a group will keep your mind occupied through fun interactions. Trekking along with friends, guides, and porters, will not only reduce the fatigue of the trek but will also make it exciting and memorable.
The Annapurna Circuit trek is a long duration trek on the harsh terrain of the Annapurna region. Therefore, you will require a great pair of comfortable trekking shoes to trek in the region. A pair of comfortable hiking shoes with sturdy soles will give you the extra push you need for the trek.
It will also save you from any injuries, blisters, ankle pain, and others. The Annapurna circuit trek is a long duration trek through the most remote parts of Nepal.
The trails are harsh and require immense strength and stamina to complete. Thus, a good training routine before the trek will help you immensely.
Moreover, the training should include cardiovascular activities like hiking, cycling, running, swimming, and others.
These aerobic exercises will increase your stamina and boost your endurance. These training routines will also help you with altitude sickness. The Annapurna Circuit Trek is challenging, and the distance plays a significant role in determining the difficulty poolevel of the trek.
