The Annapurna peak, often surrounded by clouds, is the most beautiful encounter in the entire loop. Baiyun Jingjing covers the mountain and is intertwined with the surrounding clouds. It is as illusory and beautiful as a dream. White snow mountains stretch out into the sky in the clouds. Baiyun, the mountain is painted beautifully. The sea of clouds is rolling, quietly surrounding the snowy mountains, as if the dreamy fairyland

Annapurna Expedition (8,091m/ 26,545ft)

Annapurna I (8091m/26,545ft.) is the 10th highest mountain globally and the eighth highest mountain in Nepal. Annapurna I is the lowest 8000m peak but is one of the most technical climbing peaks in the Himalayas. Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal climbed Annapurna Expedition on June 03rd, 1950. It was not until 1970. Annapurna Expedition was summited again from its Northwest Ridge. The peak's exact location can found at the coordinates of 28°35'45''N83°49'20''E. The Annapurna massif contains six major peaks, Annapurna I (8091m/26,545ft) Annapurna II(7937m/26,040ft) Annapurna III(7555m/24,786ft) Annapurna IV (7525m/24,688ft) Gangapurna (7455m/24,457ft) Annapurna South (7219m/23,684ft). Climbing Annapurna Expedition is hard for untrained mountaineers, guides due to the snow slope. Annapurna in Sanskrit is translated to "full of food" but is generally translate to "Goddess of the Harvests." In Hinduism, Annapurna is a goddess of fertility and agriculture and an avatar of Durga. The entire massif and surrounding areas preserved within the 7629 square kilometers (2,946 sq mi) Annapurna Conservation Area, the first conservation area in Nepal, remained the largest conservation area in Nepal. The Annapurna Conservation Area is home to several world-class treks, including the Annapurna Circuit. Annapurna is one of the world's most technical mountains; for that reason, it has a lousy fatality to summit ratio. Climbing Annapurna is a severe adventure and one of the most difficult 8000m peaks in the world. But there is hope that a new route was used this year and will be the best and safest route to climb moving forward. The South Face of Annapurna is one of the largest and steepest faces in the world. The looks are fantastic in size and difficulty. The South Face is 3000 feet higher than the Southwest face of Mt. Everest. The South Face of Annapurna is relatively free of the terrible avalanche hazards that plague the standard routes on the North Face of the mountain. Despite the incredible difficulty, the South Face is a logical route to the summit of Mt. Annapurna. Everest Alpine Trekking provides a comprehensive service organizing all necessary permits, climbing documentation, logistics, including airfares, ground transportation, porters, food along the trek, and other individual services required by clients. Satori advises clients to use a personal climbing Sherpa guide (which we will provide) to help you reach the summit. Your personal climbing Sherpa will set up camp I, camp II, and center III with food provisions, fuel, and oxygen and guide the client on summit day. After arriving in Kathmandu, you will have a day of preparations and briefing for your climbing permit. Following that, you will be flying to Pokhara and then driving to Tatopani by jeep. From here, you will be trekking to Annapurna South base camp through wild jungles; along the way, you will pass through villages such as Lete and Miristi Khola. After having a few days rest and receive basic training from your Satori Climbing Sherpa guide, you will be starting your acclimatization period up to camp I, II, and III. Base camp to camp II is a very technical section of the route. It consists of an unstable and broken glacier with dangling seracs that can come crashing down at any time. The climb does with three camps. It takes 2 hrs to get from Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) to the bottom of the rise. The start of the route is a steep 70-degree section that requires 500m of fixed rope. Here is the objective hazard area of the falling seracs. From camp I to camp II the climbing is slightly less steep but is still tricky with great objective avalanche danger. This section requires roughly 1000m of fixed rope. Camp II's route to camp III requires switchback navigation on the snowfield between the broken glacier's seracs. The summit is on an exposed ridge and does not require fixed ropes, and it is doing as a free ascent.

But it can also be a family trek, with children and older relatives being able to participate and enjoy yourself 🙏🇳🇵🏃‍♂️🤗

Reality of hiking. U look so unpresentable

Site : Ghorepani Treks Location : Ghorepani is a rural village in Myagdi District in the Dhaulagiri Zone of northern-central Nepal. It is 17 kilometres from the district capital of Beni at an elevation of approximately 2874 m at height. GPS Coordinates: 28.4008° N, 83.7000° E Getting there : Busride or Flight from Kathmadu to Pokhora. From Pokhora you alight your bus at Nayapul and start trekking. Remember to get a guide and passport trek card as you need to report to the Park Post everytime you reach the entrance or exit sign. I had a literally NO CHILL trekking guide. He do this every single day that he can sprint uphill without a problem. So most of the time I was trekking alone drinking mountain water, playing with waterfalls. Drink at the local hill top shop with a view. I can speak random nepali and hindi words so I survived. Most people showed you the post hiking pictures. I'm showing you the reality of hiking. You carry heavy load cross waterfalls and streams, walk on wobbly handmade bridges and get bitten by a lot of leeches. The trek was rated as moderate due to the steep incline , ascend and descend. Hiking is not all glory. You have to wake up 5 or 6am to start and end 6 or 7pm daily. Mal nourished, not enough sleep, body aching and look ugly and smelly through out. But the satisfaction level is beyond words. #passionpassport
