Singu Chuli Peak Climb - 23 Days

Once you arrive at the land of Singu Chuli Peak, the representative of our team will be there at Kathmandu Airport to welcome you with their warm greetings. They will receive you from the airport and transfer you to the hotels. They will help you with your check-in. 

You will be free for the rest of the day. You can rest or stroll around the streets of Kathmandu and explore the markets. 

You can explore the cultural practices of Kathmandu Valley while visiting the World Heritage Sites listed by UNESCO such as Pashupatinath Temple, Swoyambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple), Kathmandu Durbar Square, etc.

You can enjoy the view of the whole Kathmandu Valley from the top of Swoyambhunath Stupa and also learn a few things about the lifestyle of people in Kathmandu Valley.

Pokhara is a beautiful city of lakes in Nepal. After a 6/7 hours drive in a tourist coach, you will finally reach Pokhara. The drive will be filled with scenery and excitement for what’s coming next. You can rest once you reach Pokhara or also go for a stroll around the lakeside or boating at Fewa Lake. You can find many local products in the market.

You have options for vehicles as per your interest and budget such as tourist buses, schedule buses, private cars, etc. for the drive. We can also manage flights if that’s what you prefer. There will be additional payments for such a facility.

After a quick breakfast, you will be taken to Tikhedhunga located at the elevation of 1580M, a small town of Nayapul from Pokhara through a drive of around 3 hours. You will get a panoramic view of Machhapuchhare (Fishtail), Hiunchuli, and Annapurna South along with cultivated lands and the Annapurna Conservation Area. You will pass a suspension bridge over Khumnu Khola on your way. When you will pass Nayapul and reach Birethanti, you can feel the weather changing. Once you arrive at Tikhedhunga, you will start the trek to the village of Ulleri.

The trail toward the village of Ulleri is almost vertical but the excitement of the journey and the scenic landscapes will surely not let you get tired.  After a trek of 3500 steps stone (500 km), you will reach the top of Ulleri village where you will stay for the night. 

You can have the spectacular view of Hiunchuli and Annapurna South from Ulleri in the morning. After some breakfast, you will start your trekking toward Ghorepani. The journey to Ghorepani will be filled with a hillside covered with rhododendron flowers which makes it look like an exotic garden. 

You can see Buddhist prayer flags around the area which adds beauty to the trek trail. The hiking trail may be a little steep but your trekking experience surely will be gentle. 

Ghorepani is a small but beautiful Magar settlement. With a few hardships, you will reach the village of Ghorepani where you will spend the night. Lunch will be arranged during the trek and dinner will be provided at the lodge at night.

Your day starts with an early morning hike to Poon Hill with a motive to observe the mesmerizing sunrise from the top of the hill and some stunning panorama of mountains around the Annapurna region. Poon hill is the viewpoint for some magnificent gigantic Himalayas like Dhaulagiri, Varaha Shikhar, Annapurna I, Annapurna II, Annapurna III, Nilgiri, Lamjung Himal, and many more. After enjoying the breathtaking sunrise view, you will move back to your stay for some breakfast.

After some breakfast in the lodge, a trek of almost 3 to 4 hours will take you to the Tadapani village passing the Deurali La trail which has the same height as poon hill. The trek route will have lush and dense rhododendron forest where you may cross your path with a few wild animals such as monkeys, birds, etc. 
Some delicious dinner and a comfortable bed await you at Tadapani. You will stay overnight at Tadapani and reenergize for your journey of the next day.

After a relaxing night's stay at Tadapani, your journey will further continue heading down to a steep trail downhill through Rhododendron forests. Leaving the land of Tadapani, you will cross a suspension bridge before trekking uphill to the village of Gurung ethnicity, Gurjung. 

From the Gurjan village, you will move forward to the village of Chomrong which will give you a clear view of Annapurna South right in front of you. Again, you will trail your way to the bottom of a river valley also crossing a few suspension bridges.

A short trek uphill will lead you to your destination for the night, Sinuwa. You can rest overnight after having some hot dinner.

The trail from Sinuwa Danda to Deurali is full of dense rhododendron forest with an almost perpendicular downhill route to reach the Bamboo Village. Further on, the trail will take you to a deep valley surrounded by an alluring vista of mountains. 

If you are fortunate enough, you may encounter glimpses of some native fauna popular in the area such as Black bears, white monkeys, etc. on your way to Deurali. 

After a long day of walking different topography, you will reach Deurali where you can rest for the night. 

Today is the day you will feel closer to your destination as you will be trekking your way to Annapurna Base Camp and cross an elevation of 4,000 meters. Following an upward trail to the valley, you will reach the Machhapuchhare Base Camp after a couple of hours of walking. 

When you arrive at the base camp of Mt. Machhapuchhare, you will notice the effect of high altitude with freezing temperature and lack of vegetation. From there, an upward path leads to Annapurna Base Camp. As the altitude climbs, you must be more cautious of the changing environment and gradually adjust to it while maintaining personal safety.

You must follow the tour guide's directions and notify them if something seems odd. After a bit, you will arrive in ABC, one of the most desired trekking spots, where you will spend the night at a teahouse admiring Mt. Annapurna. 

Today, you will acclimatize at Annapurna Base Camp for the whole day to ensure a successful summit to the top of Singu Chuli Peak. While trailing your way to high elevation, it is important to take breaks and move slowly to avoid any altitude sickness and adapt to the altitude.

However, acclimatization doesn’t mean sitting idle in your teahouse, you will get to explore the Annapurna Base Camp while glancing at the magnificent landscapes of snow-covered Annapurna I (8,091 m), Hiunchuli (6,441 m), etc. Make sure to wake up early in the morning to enjoy the breathtaking view of sunrise from Annapurna. 

After a day of acclimatization, your body will be more adaptive toward the weather of the high altitude and be ready to move forward to your destination, the summit of Singu Chuli Peak. Descended from Annapurna glacier, the trail to the base camp of Tent Peak is quite difficult. The pace of the trek will be slow and steady to maintain a better climbing pattern. 

Since there are no tea houses at the base camp, the team will install the tented camp for stay at the base camp. You will relax for the night after dinner.

Now, it is time to move from the base camp to the high camp of Tent peak which will bring you close to your destination. The climb to the high camp will be difficult as the section of the trail will be tougher, snowier, and slippery sometimes. The technical part of the peak will be started from this point. The night will be spent at a tented camp.

While climbing a high altitude peak, acclimatizing is essential to allow your body to get as much rest as possible and avoid any health consequences. The acclimatization day at Tent Peak high camp will recharge your energy and spirit preparing you for the next day's adventure.

An adventurous day awaits you as you wake up in the morning. You will ascent the icy and snowy trail toward Camp I of Singu Chuli. As you will be closer to your goal, the difficulty level of the trek will increase. If the trail is covered with snow then you have to use the mountaineering gears that you’re carrying such as ropes and ice axes. Similar to another campsite, you will stay overnight at a tented camp.

This ascent day will take you very close to the summit of Singu Chuli. While ascending to an altitude of 5500 m, you have to move slowly to enjoy your trekking and dodge any chances of altitude sickness. This day will be similar to the day before as the trail to Camp II is as snowy and icy as Camp I. You will recharge your energy for the big day of summit climbing at a tented camp.

This is undoubtedly one of the most exciting days for trekkers on this 23-day adventure. One more push before summiting Singu Chuli and making these two weeks of misery worthwhile. This is the day when you'll put all of your knowledge, effort, and expertise to good use. On this day, you will certainly experience a range of emotions. There will be a mixture of exhaustion, joy, and excitement.

Early in the morning, the climb to the peak will begin. Our experts will accompany you on your climb to the summit because the terrain is fairly technical. Some challenging sections will demand the use of climbing equipment such as ropes, ice axes, and so on.

Consistency in your strenuous work will lead you to the peak's pinnacle, where you will be able to set your feet. The panorama from that height of 6501 meters will be both calming and breath-taking to your sight. Both your eyes and your camera can catch these panoramas. Make the most of your time at the peak of Singu Chuli Peak by taking it all in. You will descend back to Camp II of Singu Chuli for a good night's rest.

Congratulations on accomplishing your goal! Now, you will proceed to head back to your home but the fun isn’t over yet. There will be no more ascending routes so the trek will be easier. You will descend from Camp II to Tent Peak Base Camp in a hike of approximately 6-7 hours where you will stay overnight.

On this day, you will walk back to Machhapuchhare base camp and bid farewell to Annapurna Base Camp in the way. The vistas of mountains will be enjoyable from descending trail as well. The team will be staying overnight at Machhapuchhare base camp.

Today you may feel a little sad to be waving goodbye at the scenic view of Machhapuchhare base camp. You will be one step closer to heading home trailing back to Sinuwa. On the way, you will pass Deurali, Dobhan, Bamboo village, and much more similar to the ascent route.

On the way back to your home, you will be able to relax in the hot spring of Jhinu Danda as you will be trekking from Sinuwa to Jhinu Danda on this day. The trek will require you to descend downhill to Jhinu Danda from Chomrong village.

Today you will leave Jhinu Danda and trek your way back to Dhampus. You will pass a few villages like Landruk and Pothana on the way enjoying the landscapes and terrace fields. Once you reach Dhampus, you will hop on to a bus that will take you to Pokhara with a drive of around 40 minutes. Enjoy your night in Pokhara strolling and exploring around if you want.

After getting a good night's sleep at Pokhara, you will leave for Kathmandu in the morning after some breakfast. The route will be the same as before and you will get to experience the scenic views as before. The busy street of Kathmandu will greet you and you will be checked into hotels for the night.

Today is a sad day for everyone since you will be bidding farewell to Nepal and the team of Himalayan Trekkers to head back home. You will take away great memories and a sense of accomplishment. You will be dropped at the airport 3 hours before your actual flight schedule by the representative of Himalayan Trekkers. Nice to meet you and hope to see you soon!
