Hiunchuli Peak Climbing Overview
Hiunchuli Peak Climbing, loved by the trekkers, is one of the most popular climbing expeditions in the Annapurna region. Hiunchuli Peak (6441m) became one of the favourite expedition sites due to less difficult climbing to the peak, and it is the fourth largest among the ‘Trekking Peaks’.
HiunchuliPeak forms the southern wall of the Annapurnarange, lying in the range of Annapurna South. Hiunchuli Peak is a majestic peak, whose beauty is adored by all the trekkers who are interested in visiting Annapurna Base Camp. Even though the mountain is quite easy to trek and climb, it is usually ignored by climbers owing to the possibility of increased chances of avalanches and rockfall. Hiunchuli is an easy peak for the climbers, but the risk of rock falls limits the trekkers from climbing this magnificent peak. The way to the peak is also difficult and inaccessible most of the time. Veteran climbers, however, can easily find the way to the peak; little attention has somewhat hidden the glory of this majestic mountain.
In order to reach Hiunchuli Peak, we follow the way of the Annapurna Sanctuary trail to Annapurna Base Camp. From the base camp, we climb a steep hill to reach the high camp. The base camp will work as our resting spot before making the next climb to the peak from the Southeast route. In total, three camps are usually established before finally reaching Hiunchuli.
