Annapurna South (Dakshin) and Hiunchuli, Annapurna massif, Nepal
PIcture taken from a guesthouse at top of Chhomrong. Annapurna South called Annapurna Dakshin or Moditse, 7,219 m (23,684 ft), is easily visible from many points over the Annapurna massif. Its not the highest but the elevation from its summit and the bottom of the valley (the river between Chhomrong and Sinuwa), down chomrong, is around 4500 meters. The nearby mountain Hiunchuli is in fact an extension of Annapurna South. 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.
