Tharpu Chuli Peak Climbing Overview
Tharpu Chuli Peak Climbing is one of the easier climbing peaks and is best for the mountaineering novice who is planning to upgrade from trekking to mountain climbing. Tharpu Chuli (5,663m) is situated in the central Annapurna Sanctuary, directly opposite the Machhapuchhre peak.
Tharpu Chuli is also known as ‘Tent Peak’ because of its tent-shaped structure. The summit of the peak provides an opportunity to witness the greatness of the Himalayan peaks such as Annapurna I, III, South, Fishtail, Hiunchuli, and many others.
Access to the mountain is favored from the Annapurna Base Camp with a two-week climb from the camp. The route we will take is the North-West ridge, filled with snow and ice. The difficulty is at the level of Scottish Grade II and is more sustainable than Island Peak (another popular mountain in the Everest region).
