Challenging and adventurous
Annapurna I (8,091m/ 26,545 ft) is the 10th highest mountain in the world. It is located on the 55 km long massif of the Himalayas in the North-central part of Nepal. Till 2016, there had been 200 summit ascents of Annapurna I, and 61 fatalities were recorded while climbing on the mountain. The climb to Annapurna I via South Face is considered technically most challenging after K2. The South Face is huge in size and 3,000 feet higher than the southwest face of Mount Everest. However, the South Face of Annapurna is relatively free from avalanches. It is a normal route to the summit of Mt. Annapurna 1. Getting back to Base Camp from the summit is more important than ascending there.
