The Annapurna Region in northwestern Nepal has been listed as one of the world’s best trekking destinations. Annapurna is a series of peaks in the Himalayas, a 55 km long massif of which the highest point, Annapurna I, stands at 8091m, making it the 10th-highest summit in the world and one of the 14 "eight-thousanders". The Annapurna region is situated in middle north Nepal and is defined by the Kali Gandaki River to the west, the Marsyangdi and Dudh Khola valleys to the east, the Pokhara valley to the south, and the Himalaya foothills that run along the Nepal-Tibetan border to the north.
It’s considered as one of the technical and difficult mountains among 8000m peaks due to the peak’s prone to avalanches and high fatality rate to summit ratio. Despite being the first 8000ers to be climbed, it is still of the least climbed 8000ers mountains. Annapurna is a Sanskrit name, which literally means "full of food" (feminine form), but is normally translated as Goddess of the Harvests. In Hinduism, Annapurna is a goddess of fertility and agriculture and an avatar of Durga.
