Tent Peak climbing is probably the shortest trekking peak of Nepal where you can do amazing climbing activity. Before 2017 Tent Peak used to be one of the trekking peaks identified by Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA). However, the altitude and climbing difficulty of this mountain is not up to the standard set by NMA. So, after 2017 NMA removed it from its list of Trekking Peaks of Nepal. The altitude of Tent Peak is about 5667 m from sea level. Our expert mountain guide and team of Sherpa climbing crew members can help you knit momentous climbing experiences.

Tharpu Chuli

People know this mountain peak as Tharpu Chuli as well. It is the local name of the peak. However, throughout the globe the peak is known as the Tent Peak. Even if the mountain is not called as the trekking peak, we provide adventure climbing certificate from our company. The peak is located in the beautiful Annapurna Sanctuary. From the top of the mountain, you can see majestic scenery of mountains like Annapurna South, Gangapurna, Machhapuchhre, Singha Chuli, Him Chuli etc. In fact, 360 degree views of mountain make the climb of the mountain worth every penny.

The surrounding environment and trekking route leading up to the peak is diverse and serene in terms of nature and culture. It is so best to find out about the culture, traditions, and rituals of Gurung and Magar communities while trekking to the Tent Peak Base Camp. The trail is also known as the Annapurna Base Camp Trek route.

Do I need to get the Climbing Permit to climb Tharpu Chuli?

You don’t need to get the climbing permit to do Tent Peak Climbing in Nepal. Before 2017, it was mandatory for climbers to obtain climbing permit to climb the peak. After NMA removed the peak from its list of trekking peaks of Nepal, you don’t have to buy the peak climbing permit at least for Tent Peak. Therefore, climbers who successfully complete the climbing of Tent Peak will not get any kinds of certificate from Nepal Government and Nepal Mountaineering Association. The journey is recognized as the regular trekking trip.

Climbers must obtain Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) and Trekkers’ Information Management System (TIMS) permit. Nowadays, TIMS permit is not in use but it may come into use in near future. The rural municipality fee may come in effect but it is not in use!

Poon Hill of Annapurna Region of Nepal

The best thing about Tharpu Chuli is that climbers can visit the Poon Hill section of the Annapurna region of Nepal. This is the most famous vantage point for magnificent sunrise and sunset. You can also do the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek only in the form of short trekking trip inside Annapurna region of Nepal. At an altitude of 3200 m from sea level this hill top offers one of the breathtaking scenery of mountains and cascading hills. Green lush forests and streams as well as villages of Gurung and Magar people of the region make this trip sumptuous and diverse.

Annapurna Base Camp and Machhapuchhre Base Camp

The possibility to reach both Machhapuchhre Base Camp and Annapurna Base Camp is another highlight of Tent Peak Climbing in Nepal. The Machhapuchhre (Fishtail Mountain) is one of the sacred mountains of the region which is not allowed to climb but during this climbing you can get the best scenery of mountains.

Annapurna Base Camp (4031 m) is the final place where you will spend overnight in a comfortable guest house or lodge. There are not tea houses and lodges in the Tent Peak Base Camp or High Camp. Therefore, you will have to spend overnight in a tent. It takes about 5 to 6 hours to reach the high camp from Annapurna Base Camp. Relish the chance to be at the base camp of the world’s 10th tallest mountain Mt. Annapurna (8091 m).

Why Tent Peak is the altitude sickness free peak climbing activity to do in Nepal?

It takes about 8 days to reach the base camp of Tent Peak. While doing this trekkers or climbers will already spend more than 3 nights at places above 4000 m height, so Tent peak is the altitude sickness free peak climbing activity to do in Nepal. This doesn’t mean that you can underestimate and do the climb unprepared. You must know about ice climbing as well as some tips about climbing the snowy peak.

How difficult is Tharpu Chuli Peak Climbing?

It is said that the Tharpu Chuli Peak Climbing in Nepal is the easiest among all the climbing activities! However, you must possess good physical fitness and stamina. Make sure that you have strong cardio vascular abilities. Walking for more than 6 to 7 hours continuously both uphill and downhill is definitely not easy. Therefore, the difficulty level of the peak climbing is moderately difficult but not arduous.

When is the best time to do Tent Peak Climbing in Nepal?

Please choose months of spring and autumn season to do Tharpu Chuli Peak Climbing in Nepal. During this time of the year you can get good scenery of mountains, green lush forests environment and warm weather.
