Amazing Trekking and Climbing

Tent Peak also called Tharpu Chuli is well known climbing Peak in Annapurna Region. It is located just of the Annapurna-I Base Camp. From the Tent Peak summit offers magnificent 360-degree views of magnificent snow-capped mountains of the Annapurnas. The beautiful landscape in the trekking section of the trip adds another reason for choosing a climb to this spectacular peak. While you trek along the fertile Modi Khola River belt you will experience the natural grandeur as well as the cultural magnificence of one of the most popular trekking regions of Nepal.

Tent Peak Climbing trip starts from Nayapul after a short drive from Pokhara. From Nayapul the trail ascends gradually to Syauli Bazzar and Kimche, through terrace fields of paddy (rice) and barley. At each of the villages along the way, you are guaranteed to be warmly received by the local Gurung and Magar people. The trail passes several picturesque Gurung villages of the area, namely Ghandruk, Landruk, Tolka, Chomrong, among others.

Gurungs have a distinctive religious culture that is a rich mixture of Bon and Buddhism, and they are renowned for their roles in the infantries of the British Gurkha regiments in the First and Second World Wars. You will enjoy not only the incredible mountain scenery but also the hospitality and cultural splendor of Nepal’s mountain people.

Trekking further north-east from MBC, ABC, and crossing South Annapurna Glacier and actual Tent Peak climbing begins. And you will continue climbing to the summit. We spend one day at Annapurna base camp prior to our ascent of the peak, resting and being trained in the use of climbing equipment.

Tent Peak can be climbed along three different routes: the south-east ridge; the south-west ridge; and the north-east ridge. The north-east route is the most commonly taken. Tent Peak is technically easy but physically challenging. Its summit offers an unparalleled view of the entire Annapurna Sanctuary, a breath-taking circle of hanging glaciers and moraines surrounded by some of the highest peaks on earth.
