Tent Peak Climbing Overview

Tharpu Chuli commonly known as Tent Peak is a magnificent mountain located in the Annapurna Range of the Himalayas. In 1956, Sir Jimmy Robert called it the Tent Peak because of the shape of its summit flat like the tent. Being 5,663 meters above sea level, it is less difficult than other peak climbing making it perfect for beginners as well.

This trek takes you to the idyllic towns of Nayapul, Tikhedhunga, Ulleri, Ghorepani, Tadapani, Chhomrung, Sinuwa Danda, Bamboo, Dovan, Himalaya, Deurali, Machhapuchhre Base Camp, and Annapurna Base Camp. If you are fortunate, you may also encounter endangered species such as snow leopards, musk deer, and Himalayan black bears during the trip.

The most prominent feature of the Tent Peak climbing expedition is the 360-degree view from the top of Annapurna massif. It is an amazing experience full of excitement of climbing and an opportunity to be acquainted with beautiful nature all around.

Tent Peak is pretty popular amongst the trekkers and climbers of the Annapurna region, and its considerably lower altitude makes it an excellent solution for those who are looking for an adventure that is both difficult and satisfying, but not too extreme like the Mera, Lobuche, or Island peaks. 

In the end, Tent Peak presents you with a memorable trip with the combination of thrill, adventure, cultural discovery, and the magnificence of the Himalayas.

We are having heavy rainfall especially in the past 3 days and it is still raining today. Many places in Kathmandu valley and southern Nepal have been flooded. We cannot reach Bhaktapur (only 8km from #Changunarayan) because the main access road is totally #flooded and the steep road downhill is full of mud and big rocks. All roads to Kathmandu have been cut off and many areas are without electricity and phone lines are off as well. The rescue teams are trying to reach these areas by helicopters. There are reports of #landslides from villages where our relatives live in the areas of Kavre and Sindhupalchock, also few casualties were reported. Today we managed to talk to our families and friends on the phone and they are safe. The fields are covered in mud and stones, and the crop are damaged or lost and they have a total blackout since days. The electric poles are very dangerous in #Nepal especially in case of #floods. Read more and view more pictures and videos on our website: traditionalartofnepal.com Sorry for delaying the shipping of the orders. We will answer your emails soon. Namaste.🙏 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz48YKhhnzA/?igshid=pu6axce1mkcw
