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 1949when 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; 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 8000m
peaks.
