Trip Overview

Annapurna-I is the tenth-highest mountain in the world, with an elevation of 8,091m (26,545ft) above sea level. It is located in the Himalayas of north-central Nepal and is part of the Annapurna Massif, a range that includes several peaks over 7,000m (22,966ft). Annapurna-I is considered one of the most challenging and dangerous mountains to climb, due to its steep and exposed routes and the frequent avalanches and landslides that occur on its slopes. It rises east of the Kali Gandaki Gorge separating it from the Annapurna massif which is 34 km to the west and the gorge between is considered Earth's deepest. In Sanskrit, Annapurna means “full of food” and is normally translated as the goddess of the Harvests.

Annapurna I was first attempted by a British expedition in 1950, but the team was forced to turn back due to the difficult conditions and lack of resources. The mountain was eventually successfully summited on 03 June 1950 by a French expedition led by Maurice Herzog. The team included Louis Lachenal, Marcel Ichac, Jean Couzy, and Gaston Rébuffat. It was the first 8,000-meter peak to be successfully climbed, and its summit was the highest summit attained on Earth for three years until the first successful ascent of Mount Everest.

An expedition to Annapurna-I requires a high level of physical fitness, technical climbing skills, and experience in high-altitude mountaineering. It is also important to properly acclimatize to the altitude, have the right gear, and be prepared for the risks of avalanches, landslides, and other hazards. Climbing a mountain like Annapurna-I can also be a way to experience the beauty and majesty of nature in a very intense and profound way. The views from the summit are said to be breathtaking, with panoramic vistas of the surrounding mountains and valleys.

The Seven Summit Treks, Annapurna-I expedition will begin in mid-march starting from Kathmandu. You will have a couple of days for the preparation of goods and equipment and paper works. Afterward, you will take a flight or drive to Pokhara and further trek or take a Heli flight from Dana to base camp as per the program. We will set up four camps. We will do a frequent rotation to each camp for the best acclimatization. The basecamp is normally set at (4,190m/13,747ft), Camp I at (5,150m/16,896ft), Camp II (5,700m/18,700ft), and Camp III (6,500m/21,325ft), Camp IV (7,400m/24,278ft) and Mt. Summit Annapurna (8,091m/26,545ft). Annapurna is one of two (with K2) of the world's most dangerous mountains to climb, with a bad fatality-to-summit ratio.

    Mardi Himal trek. A wonderful trek ideal even for beginners. Wonderful views, great facilities. Our choice for this trek was through our honeymoon. Seven Summit Treks organized and prepared everything. Sherpa Tashi and porter Nima were great. We could talk, they always prepared everything. I have been in contact with the guys from Seven Summit Treks since the expedition to Makalu and I know that I can rely on them. Thank you for your help and wonderful experience. And see you at the next event.

    Our first co-operation was in 2013 in Pakistan with Arnold Coster expeditions and Sevensummittreks towards the Gasherbrum. After that, we continued to work together on expeditions towards Everest, Makalu, Lhotse, Manaslu (winter), and AmaDablam. For me, SST is a very professional company with a lot of experience and knowledge. We have full confidence in their capabilities and appreciate their flexibility. I would like to thank them for all those years of cooperation and I look forwards to new adventures in Nepal and Pakistan.

    I have been on many expeditions in Nepal over the years, most of them I organized with friends and used Seven Summit Treks only for their base camp services with great service! This year none of my friends were available to climb in Nepal in the Autumn season so I contacted SST and decided to sign up for the Mera Peak and Baruntse expedition. SST organized everything and provide me with a personal climbing Sherpa for the entire trip. Throughout the entire trip, everything was taken care of by SST, including lodging, tea houses, and meals. At Baruntse base camp I had a nice private tent and the cook and kitchen staff always had smiles and cooked great meals. My Sherpa (Jangbu) was great and we became close friends and climbing partners. Jangbu was always there with a smile, a very strong climber, always wanting to help in any way he could. There was plenty of time to decide how and when we were going to make a summit push based on the weather. We had fantastic summit days on both peaks and finished the trip crossing the Amphu Labste pass into the Khumbu Valley staying each night in nice lodges with all meals included. I would highly recommend using SST for any expedition that you want to go on. Thank you Seven Summit Treks for a great trip and your attention to detail!!

    My wife and I had an amazing experience with Seven Summits for the Everest Base Camp Trek. The company was extremely hospitable with a welcome dinner on day 1, including an introduction to our guide. Speaking of our guide, Phurkitar, he was simply brilliant. During the trek, he was very patient as both of us went through physical and emotional tiredness, and he ensured we reached EBC without any major issues. In addition, he helped cater to my vegan and my wife's vegetarian diets throughout the trek. Cannot compliment Phurkitar enough for all his efforts.

    Would readily book with Seven Summits again.
