Mt. Annapurna 8,091 m is taken from Sanskrit word that mean “Sustenance and filled with”, so that the name would translate into the Goddess rich in Sustenance or simply “The Provider”. It was first ascended by the French Expedition (M. Herzog & L. Lachenal) in 1950. Only 96 climbers on 106 expeditions reached the summit at the end of 2002 whereas 52 climbers had died on the mountain.

A French expedition was lead by Maurice Herzog explored the Kali Gandaki Valley in 1950. After deciding the Dhaulagiri was too difficult so that they turned their attention to climb Annapurna. Where, we can find four summits called Annapurna; which is the entire massif forms, barrier on the Northern side of the Pokhara valley. The main summit lies at the West part of the Annapurna Sanctuary, all the routes of the mountain pose several difficulties so that it is probably very few climbers had been able to ascend the summit in the comparison of the other 8,091 m peaks of Nepal.

Expert Climbing Guide for Annapurna Expedition:

‘’ There are Nothing is impossible’’ We can make everything possible !!  so  we are focus on expert Climbing guide, who has been there several times as well as technical climbing knowledge of using ropes, proper climbing gears to use, safety and security concern , high risk protection skill, and team leading is the most important, we guaranteed that for the organization so we select climbing guide (Climbers) from interview also we verified  all the details about Expert climbing guide before sending you in the mountains for the real Expedition with full Safety, proper responsibilities. We will take maximum safety gears for every expeditions to be success so let’s make bigger group for the adapt the Trip, if even you go in a small group or solo climber also possible but the cost will be higher than bigger group, while your success chance is more than 90% than bigger group so sometimes, you also think about it and don’t look only for money to save (Better to think safe the life in the mountains is also most important) cheapest organization can’t fulfill your dream come true because Expedition will be always high risk so we never know the weather prediction, we have to careful about weather forecast.

Trekking Team:

Being homeland of Himalayas, it’s obvious to have challenging routes, dangerous weather, health issues; any of these situations is enough to ruin your trip. Leading around the steeply hills and rocky routes is not a job of common climbers and trekkers. Himalayan Magic Treks have been providing native leaders and staffs working in this field perfectly since many years to overcome tough challenges and make your trip a golden memory. Our Guides are trained and well certified by the Government of Nepal. Our staffs have received proper emergency guidance and evacuation education in the Himalayas. They are also entirely aware of correct knowledge of first aid to the victims. We have never and will never compromise on the safety to our clients; therefore, we provide insurance and medical services during the trek and compensation when they needs.

To pass through challenging routes and to ensure your safety and comfort, we need adequate number of staffs. It includes guide, porter, driver, assistant guide and so on. We provide guide in every trip while one assistant guide to every 4-9 group of guests and two with every 10 crew. As for the porters, we send 1 porter for every 2 guest.

Trekking Equipment:

Equipment does matter to make your trip comfortable and better so you must be serious about check list before going to trek. We advice to take general equipment for the trek click here on link about equipment lists

Security is our primary concern from your first day you will be under our service and protection. Our staff will pick you up at the airport and will assist you to your hotel.

We also focus on acclimatization days to get rid of altitude sickness. We will take care of you on arrival to till on in your final departure date (airport drop services)

Best Season to Expedition in Nepal:

Autumn (September - November) and spring (March - May) is the best season for trekking and mountaineering in Nepal. Weather is mostly clear and temperature is moderate in these seasons which offer beautiful views without any obstruction. Spring grants you beautiful flowers, plants and rare animals. Walking is favorable during these seasons. Summer (June - August) and winter (December - February). Though summer has heavy monsoon rainfall, it is very much clearer to trek around Upper Mustang Trek, Upper Dolpo Trek and Nar- Phu valley Trek since they are rain shadow areas. Everest Base Camp Trek, Langtang Gosaikunda Trek, Annapurna Base Camp Trek as well as Tibet Kailash Tour are always better to trek in winter season.

Experience & Fitness:

Trekking can be challenging and exhausting. So you might need some fitness training and experience for some tough trial. Trekking in Everest Base Camp does not require past experience or extreme fitness even though we have more challenging routes in different region compared to that of Everest. Trekking in Himalayas always takes us to challenging altitudes and rocky routes. You could ask for proper rest time and acclimatization to sustain your strength. Mountains can never be achieved in a day. We always provide the detail in our itinerary. However certain training like running, skipping and other workouts will definitely be beneficial in such challenging routes.

Acclimatization:

Altitude sickness is a major risk when trekking. You might experience it on any trails above 2,500 m however; good health, proper care and drinking plenty of water will definitely help you to prevent from altitude sickness. Every trekkers needs to be familiar with the heights and altitude so, for this we have life saving appropriate acclimatization days during the trek, We also provide certain medical support for your relief and emergency rescue through helicopter whenever the situation gets worse.

Eco Friendly:

Our only goal in the Himalayas is to leave the memories and foot prints; Himalayan Magic Treks is concerned on environment pollution issue and global warming. We are always serious and genuine about our garbage during the trek especially during camping. We collect the rubbish and dump it to the proper place to protect our environment and also appeal our clients to do the same. We partake in every program conducted in KEEP (Kathmandu Environmental Education Project) and other environmental conservation programs. We want to promote Safe environment act and stand against pollution & global warming.

Tailor-Made Itinerary:

Sometimes trekking in the Himalayan region passes through unexpected complication like natural calamity, health challenges and many other problems that might result to the changes of the itinerary. So, we kindly request you to cooperate with your guide and the team in such situation.

Baggage Handlers & Concerns:

Exercise caution with your luggage, as Nepalese airports may not offer adequate security. Fragile and valuable items are best kept in carry-on luggage to avoid mishandling.

Money Exchange at the Airport:

Avoid exchanging money at the airport due to service charges and lower rates. Opt for better rates in consult with us for favorable exchange options.

FAQs

Mount Annapurna Expedition Climbing is the best in Autumn September to November would be best suitable time for Annapurna Expedition and Second preferable Season will be spring end of March to till end of May best choice in two different seasons in doing  an adventure of Annapurna expedition in the eastern part of Nepal. 
It was first ascended by the French Expedition (M. Herzog & L. Lachenal) in 1950.is the first successful climber from France. we should tell you the truth for the any expedition in the mountains you must feel good and positive way also another point you should have enough time to climbing during expedition period because of Bad weather, insufficient crew there will be a part of unsuccessful point so do not look cheaper organization and short period of time could be happen anything in the mountains so you must be prepared every step of adventure our team will lead to complete your dream come true.

Mount Annapurna I Expedition in winter (December to February)
Winter is definitely for the more experienced trekker. The weather is unpredictable, and trails can change in hours due to snow. The sky will most likely be clear, and the scenery changes daily as snow drifts in.  On the positive side, fewer trekkers will be on the trail and lodges.  But if this is for you, let’s discuss the possibilities as lodges often close for the winter as locals go down to lower altitudes to wait out the cold so honestly inform you everyone winter is impossible for high mountains above 7000 meters climb because of high risk so choose the best time of the year Autumn for Annapurna Expedition recommendable.
