Mount Anapurna, is a 7,546-meter-high (24,751-foot-high) peak in the Garhwal Himalayas. The mountain is considered to be a challenging climb due to its steep slopes and exposed ridges, and it is often climbed as part of larger expeditions to the surrounding peaks.

Anna Purna is surrounded by a number of other prominent peaks, including Nilkantha, Nanda Devi, and Kedarnath. The mountain is also located in a remote and pristine wilderness area, and it is home to a variety of rare and endangered species of plants and animals.

While Anna Purna is not a well-known name outside of India, it is a popular destination for mountaineers and trekkers who are looking for a challenging and rewarding adventure in the Himalayas. The mountain is also considered to be a sacred site by many local communities, and it is said to be home to a number of powerful deities and spirits.
