Highlights
Overview
Tharpu Chuli Peak is also known as the “Tent Peak” because of its bizarre shape and located in the Annapurna region. It sits in the heart of the Annapurna Sanctuary amidst and it is one of the most wonderful ranges of the Annapurna Himalayas. The Tharpu Chuli Peak climbing is generally considered one of the easier climbs in Nepal. It is suitable for beginners and people who does not have previous mountaineering experience. The trip takes you to the base camp and travel to local villages like Ghorepani, Chhomrong, and Dovan. Besides the Annapurna massifs you can observe a splendid views of the mountains like Hiunchuli (6331 m.), Machhapuchhre (6997 m.), and Mt. Gangapurna (7455 m.). The trekking journey initially starts from Pokhara, Birethanti. Then the trail takes us to Tikhe Dhunga as we slowly ascend to the Ghorepani.
Tharpu Chuli Peak Climbing
In the Annapurna region, the Tharpu Chuli Peak is one of the most enjoyable climbing trails. Passing through the moraines, draped glaciers, and alpine Himalayan terrains of the Annapurna, the view post reaching the summit is exceptional. You are likely to see the natural wildlife and vegetation of the place as the Annapurna Sanctuary abodes abundant flora and fauna in the region. We see the serene Modi Khola River, colorful landscapes, diverse vegetation, and cultural Gurung villages on this course. The people in this region are an absolute delight and kind. Post our journey to Poon Hill; we continue trekking towards the Annapurna Base Camp (130 m.). After reaching ABC, we will head to the Peak Base Camp (4910 m.) and finally to summit of Tharpu Peak.
Overall, the climb is less technical than the Island or Mera Peak climb. It can be a reasonable step to begin one’s mountaineering journey. However, we grade this tour as a strenuous one because we will be trekking for about three weeks and more than 5 hours on most days. The other highlights of this tour is hike to Poon Hill and the ABC, which can be demanding at times. Hence, we suggest all our travelers be in good health and dedicate some time to training for a supported physical journey.
