Annapurna Expedition
In fact, Annapurna Expedition (8,091) is an enormous Himalayan massif. Similarly, it is the tenth highest mountain in the world. In 1950, it became the first 8,000-meter mountain to be successfully climbed. It is located east of great gorge cut through the Himalaya by the Kali Gandaki River. The mountain has the glaciers on its western and northwestern slopes, which drain into this gorge.
Sanskrit Name
In particular, Annapurna is a Sanskrit name that can be translated as the goddess of harvests or more simply the provider. Five peaks among the many high peaks of Annapurna comes from a variation of Annapurna. Of these, the two highest (Annapurna I and II), stand like bookends at the western and eastern ends of the massif.
