| Annapurna I Expedition.

Annapurna is an
enormous 55 km. long Himalayan massif which
highest point Annapurna I, a stunning peak
stands at 8,091m. making the 10th highest
mountain in the world. It is located east of
Kali Gandaki Gorge cut through the Himalaya by
the Kali Gandaki River which separates from the
Dhaulagiri Massif. Its glaciers on western and
northwestern slopes drain into this gorge. It
became the first 8000m. peak to be successfully
clmbed in 1950 by Maurice Herzog and Luis
Lachenal of a French expedition.
The third ascent in 1970 by Don Whillans and
Dougal Haston members of a British expedition
led by Chris Bonington is considered a very
important ascent as they climbed the south face
of Annapurna taking the very diffuclt route of
climbing left pillar of south wall. Since then
many new routes have been climbed: second ascent
of summit 8051(little bit east from main summit)
made in 1981 by Maciej Berbeka and Boguslaw
Probulski via right south pillar, Reinhold
Messner's route from the north-west side(1985)
and Kukuczka and Hajzer's route on east ridge of
east summit of Annapurna(8010) on October 1988.
It is notable that the team comprised of all
women climbed the peak in 1978. The Annapurnas
are considered the world's most dangerous
mountains to climb due to the peaks prone to
avalanches and the high rate of fatality. |
| The Culture: |
|
The Expedition is
one of great contrast, encompassing all the
features of the area from the terraced village
lowlands through the forests and agricultural
areas of the middle hill country to the glacial
basins of the Annapurna mountains. The trek
starts from the sub-tropical Pokhara Valley and
passes through paddy fields before gradually
ascending through terraced hillsides of wheat
and barley. At each of the villages along the
way we are warmly received by the local Gurung
and Magar peoples. The walking is sensibly paced
so we have ample opportunity to experience and
absorb local lifestyles that have changed little
over centuries. From the start we enjoy
ever-changing views of the stunning,
snow-covered Annapurna mountains. Halfway
through the trek we leave habitation behind and
walk through rhododendron and oak forests, alive
with exotic birds and beautiful flowers, to
finally emerge above the tree line at Kopra
Danda. Here we experience the stunning
wilderness scenery beneath the towering peaks of
Annapurna South (7237m) and Annapurna 1 (8091m).
To the west lies Dhaulagiri (8167m) and far
below lies the Kali Gandaki River Valley, which
is the world’s deepest. As we climb higher above
the tree line we enter a fantastic mountain
wilderness visited only by local shepherds
during the monsoon months. The truly spectacular
vista is dominated by Annapurna I (8091m) and
Dhaulagiri (8167m), the highest peaks in the
region. |
