Annapurna IV lies in the south of Manag and west to Annapurna II. The peak is relatively easier mountain to climb among all the Annapurnas. Earliest expedition teams in the Himalayas had used Annapurna IV to build up their team to ascend other formidable Himalayan peaks. Earlier expedition to climb this peak failed because of ice above camp I, weather and logistics. Annapurna IV was first climbed in 1955 by a German expedition led by Heinz Steinmetz, via the North Face and Northwest Ridge.The normal route for climbing the peak is through East Ridge.
