Kutmi Danda

About

Launchable ridge with trail in the foothills of Annapurna. Annapurna II is part of the Annapurna mountain range located in Nepal, and is the eastern anchor of the range. In terms of elevation, isolation (distance to a higher summit, namely Annapurna I East Peak, 29.02 km or 18.03 mi) and prominence (2,437 m or 7,995 ft), Annapurna II does not rank far behind Annapurna I Main, which serves as the western anchor. It is a fully independent peak, despite the close association with Annapurna I Main which its name implies; it is, however, closely connected to the shorter Annapurna IV. Annapurna II is the 16th highest mountain in the world and second highest peak of the Annapurna mountain range.
