Api, Mountain peak in Darchula District, Nepal.
Api rises 7,132 meters above sea level as the highest summit of the Yoka Pahar Section within the Gurans Himal range of the Himalayas.
The first successful climb to Api's summit occurred on May 10, 1960, when mountaineers K. Hirabayashi and Gyaltsen Norbu reached the top via the south face.
The mountain holds traditional importance for local communities in western Nepal, who maintain spiritual connections with the surrounding Himalayan landscapes.
Reaching Api requires extensive preparation, technical climbing expertise, and multiple days of trekking from the nearest accessible roads in Darchula District.
The south face of Api presents an exceptional vertical rise of 3,300 meters from its base, creating steep climbing conditions in this remote Himalayan region.
