Tent Peak (Tharpu Chuli) Climbing
Tent Peak (Tharpu Chuli Peak) is situated in the heart of the Annapurna Sanctuary. Tharpu chuli is an attractive mountain in the famous Annapurna trekking region of Nepal. It is a part of the ridgeline and is located south from the glacier dome. It includes Singu Chuli and acts as a central divider between the semicircles of peaks enclosing the Sanctuary. Tharpu chuli offers an interesting climb to the top and also offers a spectacular view of the Annapurna Mountains. The peak was nicknamed "Tent Peak "by Jimmy Roberts in 1956.
The tent peak climbing offers an ideal opportunity for those who want to summit a Himalayan peak, but who may otherwise be hesitant to try a higher peak as a Himalayan debut. Besides providing an interesting climb combining glacier travel, face climbing and tiptoeing on knife ridges. The climbing offers an unparalleled view of the entire Annapurna Sanctuary a breathtaking circle of hanging glaciers and moraines surrounded by some of the highest peaks on earth. Climbing Tharpu Chuli will involve rock climbing, tackling snow ridges as well as ice climbing. Tharpu is often regarded as easy as compared to other peaks such as Hiunchuli and Singu Chuli. However, it is mandatory for a climber to learn to use ice axes and snow walking.
The normal route follows the North-West Ridge to the summit although the mountain has been climbed via the South-East Ridge as well as South-West Face.
