Mt. Annapurna I Expedition

Welcome to Gurla Mandata

Mt. Annapurna I Expedition

 Mt. Annapurna I Expedition is a series of Mountain peaks. It has a long massif of about 55 kilometers in length. Annapurna I is the highest peak with the altitude of 8091 m. It is also the 10th highest mountain in the world. And it is one of the young 8000 m mountains in Nepal. Furthermore, the Annapurna Range is located at the east of a great gorge. And it separates the range from the Dhaulagiri massif. Therefore, there are four summits with the entire massif of Annapurna. It forms the northern barrier of Pokhara Valley.,,

Moreover, the main summit stands to the west of the Annapurna Sanctuary. The other major peaks on the Annapurna range are Annapurna II (7937 m), Annapurna III (7555 m), etc. Also, Annapurna IV (7525 m), Gangapurna (7455 m) and Annapurna South (7219 m). Hence, all the peaks of the Annapurna ranges are within the boundary of Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP). Annapurna I is the one which is actually scheduled for Adventurer Annapurna Expedition in Nepal. Also the ‘full of food’ means Annapurna in Sanskrit. And it is also translated as the goddess of harvest. Likely, in Hinduism, Annapurna means the goddess of fertility and agriculture. And it also means an avatar of ‘Durga’.

My country Nepal

Nepal is a very beautiful country. It is also a landlocked country. China lies in the east side of the country. Likewise, India in west, north and south. It lies in the northern hemisphere. Our country has three geographical zones. They are Himalayan, Mountainous and Terai. Here, we have monsoon climate. It is very cold and dry during winter. And hot, stormy and rainy in summer. Furthermore, it is rich in natural beauty and resources. Here are long and wide rivers. Such as Koshi, Gandaki, Karnali, etc. Moreover, here are large lakes also. Like Rupa, Begnas, Rara, etc. Likewise, we have green valleys, lovely water falls, etc. Similarly, it is rich in religious and historical heritages. Lumbini, Gorkha, Janakpur, Kathmandu are the famous examples.

Nepal is highly diverse country. And has rich geography, culture, and religions. The mountainous north has many mountains. It includes eight of the world’s ten highest mountains. This also includes the highest  mountain Sagarmatha. It is known as Mount Everest in English. The fertile and humid south is heavily urbanized. It contains over 240 peaks. They are more than 20,000 ft. (6,096 m) above sea level.

People of many castes and religions live here. About hundred languages are spoken  here. Our popular foods are dal bhat, dhindo, gundurk etc. Similarly, Dashain, Tihar, Lhosar, Id etc. They are the most popular festivals. We celebrate these festivals very happily. Most  of the people are farmers. They grow rice, corn, wheat, millet, potato etc. Some people in the cities are businessmen also.  Likewise, some have industries. Therefore, people living here are very laborious.

Nepal is rich in natural resources. So, tourists love to visit our country. They can see endangered birds and animals here. Also, they can enjoy natural beauty. So, tourism is our potential industry.

Nepal is small but rich in natural resources. Although it is poor by economic condition. Nepal is developing country. To develop soon,  we have to aware all the citizen. We must provide education equally. To both men and women. Government should bring advance program. This may help citizen in development process. And, provide different facilities to citizen. And it’ll give benefit to citizen. Finally, it’ll help the  government also.

Nepal is a beautiful country. So, we have to publish it all over the world. And it’ll help to attract tourist. In this way, we can control our economic condition. Therefore, we can achieve success by developing our strengths. face book
