Annapurna is a sanskrit word which when broken down,
would mean, "Sustenance" and "filled with". So the
name would translate into "The Goddess rich in
Sustenance" or simply "The Provider". It was first
climbed by M. Herzog & L. Lachenal in 1950. The
Annapurna Himal and the Lamjung Himal stretch from the
Kali Gandaki in the west to the Marshyangdi in the
east. Four summits make up Annapurna with the entire
massif forming a barrier on the northern side of the
Pokhara Valley in Nepal. The main summit stands to the
west of the Annapurna Sanctuary. Little was known
about the mountain until 1949 when Dr. A. Heim from
the windows of a Dakora aircraft viewed Dhaulagiri and
Annapurna. The aircraft could not fly high enough for
proper observation or for photographs, still the next
year, June 3rd 1950, Annapurna was conquered. It was
the first eight thousanders to be climbed, this feat
was accomplished by the French.
However,
all the routes on the mountain pose severe
difficulties and hence it is probably why fewer
climbers have reached the summit in comparison to
other 80000m peaks.
