OVERVIEW

Mount Annapurna I expedition, at 8,091 meters, is the 10th highest mountain in the world. The highest of the 55 km Annapurna massif includes more than 30 peaks. The Annapurna expedition was one of the first 8,000 meter peaks climbed. The first successful ascent of Mount Annapurna was made by Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal on June 3, 1950. The Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) protects the entire Annapurna massif and the surrounding area. This is the first and largest conservation area in Nepal.

The attractive mountains and forests make the Annapurna region a popular destination and one of the most enchanting places on the planet. Climbing Mount Annapurna is one of the most dangerous mountains to climb with high avalanche risk. The entire route presents serious difficulties for climbers to overcome, with immense cliffs and icebergs. Therefore, peak climbing experience in good physical condition is highly recommended for those who want to reach the top of Annapurna.

    The second day has been set aside for administrative procedures and paperwork. We will secure all required permits, finish all official processes, and hold a briefing on the entire adventure.

  • Day 03 Fly From Kathmandu To Pokhara (822 M)

    After a delicious breakfast on the third day, we’ll travel to the airport. Then we take off for the lovely city of Pokhara.

  • Day 05 Fly From Dana To Annapurna I Base Camp (4190 M)

    We’ll spend the night in Dana and then fly in a chopper to the Annapurna Base Camp. Flying will shorten the time spent trekking and conserve our energy for the climb. Our skilled team will erect tents for the dining area, shower, bedroom, and kitchen. Additionally, they’ll make us sanitary and nourishing meals. We shall therefore get ready for the adventure.

  • Day 06-37 Climbing Period (Base Camp To Summit To Base Camp)

    On the 6th day, we will perform a prayer ceremony before starting the ascent.

    It is believed that Goddess Annapurna will bless us when we pray and give us safe passage to the top. During this time, our team will install fixed ropes along the climbing route. We will also do some rotations around the upper camps and back to base camp. This not only trains us on snow and ice, but also helps us adapt and prepares us for the ultimate challenges. Enjoying nutritious meals prepared by experienced chefs, we will wait for favorable weather to embark on the journey to conquer the mountain peak.

    On summit day, we’ll leave early at midnight and have a hearty breakfast. Following the fixed route established by the group, we will climb slowly until we conquer the Peak.

    Once we reach the top, we will have the opportunity to admire the panoramic views of the magnificent snow-capped giants like Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchre and other important peaks of the Annapurna massif.

    Then we will slowly return to base and prepare to leave.
