Annapurna is a sanskrit word which when broken down, would mean, "Sustenance" and "filled with". So the name would translate into "The Goddess rich in Sustenance" or simply "The Provider". It was first climbed by M. Herzog & L. Lachenal in 1950. The Annapurna Himal and the Lamjung Himal stretch from the Kali Gandaki in the west to the Marshyangdi in the east.
Annapurna is the 10th highest mountain in the world and was the first 8000m peak to be climbed. In the autumn of 1999 there were 120 expeditions to Annapurna. 106 climbers reached the summit. 54 climbers never came back.
