Tent Peak, also known as Tharpu Chuli Peak, is a fascinating destination for those who are looking to step up from trekking to amateur mountaineering in the Annapurna region. It offers a short trekking and peak climbing experience that goes beyond the ordinary trekking adventure. The trip includes a trek to the picturesque Annapurna Base Camp with a few days of peak climbing in the Annapurna region. Climbing the standard Northwest Ridge of Tent Peak, which is alpine PD grade, is an experience that is physically challenging yet rewarding. The climb boasts some steep and ridge climbing sections that make it even more interesting for those attempting to climb a trekking peak for the first time.
 
The view from the summit of Tent Peak is arguably one of the best Himalayan vistas. The wild and stunning Annapurna Sanctuary offers a spectacular panorama of many 7000 and 8000 meters of incredible Himalayan peaks, including Annapurna I, III, and South, Hiunchuli, Baraha Shikhar, Khangshar Kang, Take Kang, and Ganapurna – a truly inspiring and memorable scene.
 
To make your trip to the Himalayas hassle-free, affordable, and safe, Mountain Monarch provides all the personal and group climbing gear, including oxygen and a medical kit as a safety backup. The team is committed to organizing your trip to the highest standards, and you can rest assured that your safety is always a top priority.
 
The Tent Peak climbing adventure starts with a drive to Nayapul, the trip starting point in the Annapurna region. From there, the trekking route passes through attractive terraced farmland, meanders through rhododendron forests, and many different ethnic settlements. The sparkling water of the Modi Khola is crossed several times, and finally, the trek leads to Machapuchare and Annapurna base camps, a thrilling experience before setting up the tented camp for the Tharpu Chuli expedition.
 
The itinerary covers all the essential aspects of the trip, including cultural tours in Kathmandu and Pokhara, city tours of world heritage sites, private transportation to and from the starting and ending points of the trek, full-board meals, and accommodation in teahouses or lodges while trekking to Annapurna base camp and a tented camp while peak climbing in Annapurna. You will also receive a peak climbing certificate issued by the respective body of the Nepal government.

Today is all about sightseeing and preparation, so after our regular breakfast, we’ll head to the Buddhist pilgrimages of Boudhanath and Swayambhunath Stupas and the Hindu shrine of Pashupatinath Temple. The sightseeing offers a wealth of historical significance. The area around Durbar Square, a complex including the royal palace, distinctive temples, and many antiques, is home to further cultural sites. Later in the evening, we stop by the Nepal Mountain Trekkers’ office to meet our climbing, crew and other affiliated people. We will discuss our expectations for the trip and have our climbing gear arrangement evaluated at our meeting. You will now return.

Get up and shine, my fellow hikers, for today offers us a fresh perspective on our destination. We departed early today for Pokhara in a touring car that will ensure a smooth and comfortable journey for you. We will be traveling mostly along the Trishuli River during this excursion. Because of the enormous amount of lakes the city boasts about, Pokhara is commonly referred to as “the lake city.” Moreover, Pokhara offers breathtaking views of the Himalayan peaks. In the late evening, we can take a boat trip to the peaceful waters of Phewa Lake and explore the area. Stay in Pokhara for the night.

We drive for approximately sixty minutes to reach Naya Pul, from where we start our walk, as we continue our journey deeper into the Annapurna region today. Once we reach Birethanti, we hike hard along the Ghandruk trail, where we are rewarded with expansive views of the mountains. We admire the rural way of life in western Nepal as we pass by charming settlements. After crossing Khumbu Khola, we arrive at Ghandruk. We get a fair view of Machapuchare, Annapurna South, and the Hiunchuli mountains from the town. Stay at Ghandruk for the night.
 

We travel up to Ghandruk for sixty minutes, and then we make a treacherous descent to the Kimron Khola. Following another treacherous ascent from Kimron Khola, we walk a straightforward track for about an hour. From there, we embark on a steep ascent towards Chhomrong. Machapuchare faces the formidable peak of Annapurna South across the valley, towering over the settlement. Tucked down at the foot of the massive Annapurna mountain is the charming town of Chhomrong.

We’ll leave Chhomrong village today for Dobhan, our overnight destination. After breakfast, the trek continues along the Modi Khola, abandoning the occupied foothills. After a long walk, we cross Chhomrong Khola and arrive in Sinuwa. From here, we’ll take a moderate-level trail. We travel through the thick rhododendron wilderness to reach Khuldighar. At that point, we take huge stone strides into lush bamboo and rhododendron trees, eventually reaching Dobhan. Spend the night at Dobhan.

From Dobhan, we go down a route near Modi Khola. We pass via Himalaya Inn and Hinku Cave before reaching Deurali. On today’s short expedition, we will also have to walk across a small area prone to strong downpours. The short hike will allow us to acclimate to the high elevation and plan for the next day’s adventure. After about a 30-minute walk from Deurali, we’ll arrive at a streambed surrounded by massive snow-covered mountains. The trek to Machapuchare Base Camp is tough, but the breathtaking views of the magnificent Machapuchare are undeniably worth it. We enjoy exploring Mt. Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Annapurna I, Annapurna III, Gangapurna, and, of course, the Fishtail or Machapuchare itself.

In the wake of awakening, we take over the valley trail on a consistent climb. The trail adheres to a rough precipice and is some of the time soaks. We stroll on a to some degree level way for some time before climbing to Machapuchare Base Camp. From here we get fabulous perspectives of Mt. Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Annapurna I, Annapurna III, Gandharvachuli, and Gangapurna mountains. We then turn left and start rising tenderly to the Annapurna Base Camp. Amid our rising, we can appreciate the dynamite perspectives of the Himalayan display. Strolling further we achieve from the base camp of Mt. Annapurna, and it is astounding. We are encompassed by superb pinnacles, and the main route into this territory is through the chasm we just climbed. Stay overnight on ABC.

Today we will have a short prep session where our climbing pioneer will talk about what we can expect amid the tent peak climbing. We will also have an important prep session on pinnacle climbing techniques and the best approaches to using the pinnacle climbing riggings such as ice hatchet climbing boot, climbing boot, and bridle, and going here and there using ropes. We will also learn about bunches, apparatuses, etc. We suggest that the prep will help support our confidence in reaching a successful summit of the tent peak. We can spend the rest of the evening going on short climbs nearby and relax. We can stay overnight at Machapuchare base camp.

We continue on a trail near the Modi Khola and after walking for a while we see the south Annapurna glacier on our right. The trail out of the ice mass is paving the way to Annapurna south base camp. Either way, we go straight over an extension and keep going up until we get to tent peak base camp. Spend the night at tent peak base camp

The morning meal will boost our enthusiasm for Tent Peak Climbing. On our day trek, we stroll the glacier with spectacular views of Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre, and other mountains. We’ll eat lunch along the route and continue trekking until we reach the high camp to spend the night.

We start our excursion to the summit around 2-3 am. We stroll on a divider shake for around 2 hours and afterward, we stroll on level snow for 60 minutes. Next, we get on a precarious incline of 70 degrees (100m). At that point, we stroll on a level trail for around 30 minutes and reach the summit of Tent Peak/Tharpu Chuli. We jump on settle ropes to achieve the last summit. After overcoming Tharpu Chuli, we return on a similar course to the high camp. Stay overnight at High Camp.
 
From the high camp of Tent Peak, we descend to the Machapuchare base camp using the same trail. After reaching Annapurna Base Camp, we rest after our successful climb. We stay overnight at Annapurna Base Camp.
 

Today, we descend further down from the Annapurna Base Camp to the village settlement of Bamboo. We descend on the same trail, enjoying views of waterfalls and mountains. We stay overnight at Bamboo.

From Bamboo, we climb to Kuldi Ghar and then to Sinuwa. We follow the stone steps to Lower Chomrong and Upper Chomrong before descending to Jhinu Danda. Here, we can relax in a natural hot spring. We stay overnight at Jhinu Danda.

After breakfast, we trek along the Modi Khola River to Naya Pul, where we drive back to Pokhara. We stay overnight in Pokhara.

After breakfast, we drive back to Kathmandu near the Trishuli River. Upon reaching Kathmandu, we can rest or do some shopping before a farewell dinner to celebrate our successful climb. We stay overnight in Kathmandu.

Our 18-day trek to Tharpu Chuli Peak ends today, and a representative will transfer you to the airport. We wish you a safe journey home and hope you had a fulfilling and memorable trip in Nepal.
From the high camp of Tent Pinnacle, we slip into the Machapuchare base camp. We utilized a similar trail that we had utilized already. After arriving at Annapurna Base Camp, we shall take a genuinely required rest as of now we have successfully triumphed over the glorious Tent Peak (Tharpu Chuli). Stay overnight at Annapurna Base Camp.
