    According to Guinness World Records, Annapurna Iis the deadliest mountain in the world. This might surprise you. Many people would assume the world’s deadliest mountain is K2 or Everest. K2 certainly has a long history of death and destruction and Everest gets a lot of footfall for an 8000m peak. But no, at the time of writing, this record is held ...

    Annapurna I is the tenth highest mountain in the world, at a not insignificant 8091m above sea level. It is part of the Annapurna massif in Nepal, which you might know it for the famous trekking in the Annapurna region. This is the same place, but instead of going round the mountains, you’re going up. Annapurna I is the highest peak in a monotously...

    Well, put bluntly, it’s because the ratio of deaths to successful summit survivals is the highest in the world. For every three people who successfully make it up the mountain and back down, one person dies - that's a rate of around 33%, meaning that for every 100 people who attempt the climb, 33 do not come back. Some mathematically-minded people ...

    If you’ve spent any time reading about – or doing – mountaineering, you’ll know that most people die on the way down. Many people think of the summit as the finish point, the place you pick the trophy up from and start celebrating, but actually it’s only halfway. You’ve only really had a successful summit if you get down again to tell the tale. Of ...

    Yes. There have been some successful summits in Annapurna’s morbid history. Remember, the survival ratio is 3 to 1, so most people do survive, but when you think that Everest’s ratio is more like 15 to 1, the odds aren’t great. It’s surprising, then that the first ascent of Annapurna I in the summer of 1950 had no fatalities. It was also the first ...

    The short answer to this is no - or at least, certainly not in the same way. The Annapurna circuit trek is an 81-mile trekking route that takes between 10 and 20 days to complete. It will take you from the official starting point of the trek in Besisahar to the official end in Nayapul; roughly in a huge horseshoe loop. Any long-distance trek like t...

    • The top part of Annapurna is formed of limestone, which goes the same with Everest and Dhaulagiri I. That’s why the mountain is believed to have emerged from the ocean, gradually pushed by tectonic forces to the present state.
    • Annapurna I is the highest point in the 34-mile-long distance, east of the Kali Gandaki River’s deep gorge. This gorge is considered the world's deepest canyon, which separates Annapurna from Dhaulagiri I, some 20 miles away.
  5. Geology and Formation of the Massif. The dramatic topography of the Annapurna Massif rising suddenly towards the sky has its roots in the monumental collision of tectonic plates that birthed the entire Himalayan mountain range over 60 million years ago through the gradual northward drift of the Indian subcontinent crashing into the Eurasian plate.
