Nepali porters walking down Modi Khola river valley, Annapurna massif, Nepal

Picture taken on the trail to the Annapurna Sanctuary, between Deurali and Machhapuchhare Base Camp (MBC), in Nepal.

 

Annapurna is famous for having been the first 8000m summit to be climbed by human (Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal, in heroic and crazy conditions). Today this area attracts the most trekkers since the lanscape is the most impressive of Nepal. This comes from the fact that the difference of heigh beetween the different summits and the ground basis very high. Based on that criteria, the valley betwwen Annapurna and Dhaulagiri is the deepest in the world. The main ethnic group who live today in this area are the Gurung.
