Tharpu Chuli (5663m/18,575 ft), known as Tent Peak, is located towards the south of the Annapurna Base Camp. We trek in the Annapurna region admiring the diverse greenery, fauna and culture of Nepal. Our definitive objective which is summiting the Tent Peak or Tharpu Chuli offers us all encompassing perspectives of the Himalayas including Annapurna, Hiunchuli and others. The 17-day trip starts and finishes in Kathmandu however the genuine trek begins from Nayapool located close to Pokhara, the delightful ‘Lake City’. Reaching the base camp of Mt. Machapuchhure gives us another valid justification to pick the Tent Peak (Tharpu Chuli) Climbing trip.
Tent Peak or Tharpu Chuli (5633 m) is maybe the most appealing and outwardly satisfying trekking peak in the Himalaya. The summit is level conveying a gigantic lump of shake, ice and along snow edge.
Due to low tallness when contrasted with other trekking pinnacles and its openness, Tent peak is viewed as a standout among st the most well-known and least demanding trekking peaks to climb. A know how of ice hatchet, ropes and icy mass strolling will be sufficient to reach to the summit.
