Get into an extraordinary journey to Annapurna I (8,091m/26,545ft), the 10th highest peak globally and a formidable challenge for mountaineers. Known for its technical demands and steep slopes, Annapurna I is notorious for its difficult climbing conditions. First ascended by Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal in 1950, the peak has only been summited a handful of times due to its challenging nature. Satori Adventures is organizing a Spring 2025 Annapurna expedition, offering comprehensive services to ensure a successful climb. Our package includes all necessary permits, logistics, and support from arrival to departure. After arriving in Kathmandu, you'll undergo a thorough briefing and preparation before flying to Pokhara and driving to Tatopani. From there, you'll trek through lush jungles to Annapurna South Base Camp, where acclimatization and training will begin. The climb involves setting up camps at strategic points: Camp I (5,200m), Camp II (5,700m), and Camp III (6,500m), each with its unique challenges, including technical ice sections and crevasses. Our experienced Sherpa guides will assist with setting up camps, providing food, fuel, and oxygen, and guiding you on summit day. The summit attempt will start in the early hours, aiming to reach the top between 7:00 and 10:00 am. The ascent requires crossing a variety of terrains, including steep ice and snow slopes, and navigating through high-altitude challenges. Satori Adventures ensures all necessary climbing equipment and safety measures are in place, including personal Sherpa guides, fixed ropes, and emergency oxygen. Join us in Spring 2025 for a once-in-a-lifetime expedition to Annapurna I, where Satori Adventures provides expert support, safety, and an unforgettable adventure in the Himalayas. 4o mini
