Annapurna II, Mountain summit in Gandaki Province, Nepal.

Annapurna II reaches an elevation of 7,937 meters, standing as the second-highest peak in the Annapurna range and sixteenth-highest mountain worldwide.

The first expedition successfully reached the summit on May 17, 1960, when a British, Indian, and Nepalese team ascended through the West Ridge route.

The name derives from Sanskrit words meaning everlasting food, reflecting the mountain's connection to Hindu beliefs about sustenance and nourishment.

Climbers face substantial risks from avalanches, rockfall, and frequent storms, requiring extensive preparation and monitoring of weather conditions before attempting ascent.

The mountain holds the distinction of being the highest ultra-prominent peak under 8,000 meters, with a prominence of 2,437 meters from its base.
