Annapurna South, rising to 7,219 meters (23,684 ft), is one of the magnificent peaks of the Annapurna Massif in Nepal. Known for its dramatic snow-clad faces and steep ridges, this mountain offers a thrilling yet accessible expedition for experienced climbers.

Its challenging terrain attracts mountaineers who want both a technical climbing experience and the beauty of remote Himalayan landscapes.
The expedition begins with a scenic trek through the Annapurna region, passing charming Gurung and Magar villages, lush forests, terraced fields, and the serene Modi River valley. Trekkers and climbers gradually acclimatize as they approach the Annapurna South Base Camp, where the real adventure begins. The climb itself involves technical ice and snow routes, fixed ropes, and high-altitude camping. Beyond the thrill of the ascent, climbers are rewarded with panoramic Himalayan vistas, the satisfaction of summiting.
