Helicopter flying in front of Annapurna I, Annapurna massif, Nepal
This helicopter carries tourists from Pockara to Annapurna Base Camp and fly all along the Modi Khola river valley until the ABC (4200m). The picture is taken just at the entrance of the camp. The giant face on the background is Annapurna I, the highest summit of the massif, 8,091 m (26,545 ft) , the one which was famously climbed by the french team in 1950. 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.
