Annapurna I Ascent Celebrates 76 Years

Myagdi. It has been 76 years since Annapurna I was climbed. It has been 76 years today since the 8,091-meter-high Annapurna Himal, located at the border of Myagdi, Kaski, Manang, and Mustang districts, was climbed. The base camp of this mountain falls within the geography of Narchyang of Annapurna Rural Municipality-4, Myagdi.< p>

This mountain is called the eldest mountain because it was the first human footstep on a mountain higher than eight thousand meters. Three years after the team of France's Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal summited Annapurna on June 3, 1950, the world's highest peak, Sagarmatha, was successfully climbed.< p>
