 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. Mount Annapurna
and Mount Lamjung stretch from the
Kali Gandaki in the west to the Marshyangdi
in the east. Four summits make up Annapurna Expedition
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 1949when Dr. A. Heim from
the windows of a Dakora aircraft viewed Mount Dhaulagiri
and Mount Annapurna. The aircraft could not fly high
enough for proper observation or for photographs,
still the next year, June 3rd 1950, Mount Annapurna
was conquered. It was the first eight thousanders
to be climbed; the French accomplished this
feat. 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 8,000m peaks
