Debunking The Truth Behind Annapurna I Death Stories!


Annapurna I is the deadliest mountain in the world, and this article is all about it. According to Guinness World Records, Annapurna I is the deadliest mountain in the world. It is pretty surprising as many people would assume the world's deadliest mountain is K2 or Everest. K2 has a long history of death and devastation. But, to your amazement, it's the lesser-known mountain of Annapurna I.

ABOUT ANNAPURNA I 

Annapurna I is the tenth highest mountain in the world, at 8091m above sea level. It is part of the Annapurna massif in Nepal. It is a famous trekking range in the Annapurna region.  Annapurna I is the highest peak in a named collection of six ranges: Annapurna I – IV, Annapurna South and Gangapurna. While all the mountains in the range are under the 8000m mark, Annapurna I is the only exception.

Why is Annapurna I the Most dangerous? 

Did you know? Annapurna I death rate is the highest in the world. One person dies for every three people who successfully climbs the mountain and comes back.   Some of you might be thinking, "What about the people who don't achieve the goal of going to the top but didn't die?"  Well, first of all, congratulations to them for returning before it was too late. Second of all, we don't know. It's still not clear how Guinness World Records accounts for this in their statistics. Maybe it's not the mountain you can get halfway up and be like, "Nah, let's go down the pub instead.", or whatever it is.   

Annapurna I death Stories

If you're too much into mountaineering and have spent time reading about it, you'll know that most people die on the way down. Many people think of the peak as the finish point, where you pick the trophy up and start celebrating, but it's only halfway. You've only had a successful trip if you get down again to tell the story. Sure, you're never too far from help for many smaller mountains. But upon a big peak like Annapurna I, you're the most sensitive and furthest from the help you'll be on the journey.
