Tent peak is also known as Tharpu Chuli peak(5663m/18,563ft); This entire trip can be complete in 18days. Tharpu Chuli is one of the easy trekking peaks in the Annapurna Himalaya range. The ascent requires ice and rock climbing equipment and experience. Tent peak climbing is suitable for those climbers who intend to step up from high pass trekking to amateur mountaineering. You will be climbing the standard Northwest Ridge, which is the grade at Peu Difficile (PD). Some vertical and ridge climbing sections make this climb very interesting and challenging for those attempting to climb a trekking peak for the first time. Our experience and operation Tharpu Chuli expedition is not as challenging as climbing another trekking peak because of its height and snow conditions.
Mr. Jimmy Roberts made a tent peak summit in 1956 via the Southeast Ridge. However, the Southwest Ridge, West Face ridge, is also open and has become regular climbing routes on Tharpu Chuli. Tent peak is best climbed in the spring (April, May) and autumn (September, October, November) seasons. The climbing on Tent Peak is reasonably straight forward, and the approximate Alpine climbing grade is PD+. The climb is mostly on snow slopes around 35-40 degrees and with some exposed ridge climbing. Fixed lines are to ensure any uncovered areas.
Tent Peak summit offers magnificent panoramic views of majestic snow-capped mountains of the Annapurna region. The beautiful landscape during the trekking adds yet another reason to plan a trip to this spectacular peak. When you trek along the mighty Modi River belt, you will experience the natural grandeur as well as the cultural magnificence of the most popular trekking route in the Annapurna region. The Himalayan plants, lush forests, colorful flowers, culturally rich local people, and snow-capped trekking peak will surely mesmerize you. Once you complete the 45km drive from Pokhara to Nayapul along the Seti River, you will start your trekking up to Poonhill. At Poonhill from you will have a beautiful view of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges.
From Pokhara, it is best to start the trek-in from the village of Nayapul and acclimatize at several villages along the way, including Ghorepani(2700m/8,858ft)and Poonhill (3200m/10,498ft) before reaching the Annapurna base camp. The trek is roughly 7 days, mostly through forested areas, with stop-off points at the villages of Ghorepani(2700m/8,858ft), Tadapani (2675m/8,776ft),Chomrung (2040m/6,693ft), Doban (3230m/10,597ft) and Machapuchare Base Camp (3700m/12,139ft). From Machapuchare Base Camp to Annapurna Base Camp (13,550ft) is a short distance, usually taking 2 hours at most. You will spend more time acclimatizing before following the glacial moraine to Tharpu Chuli Base Camp. A further high camp is at 5000m. The route crosses the glacier from high camp and climbs a 40° snow slope to gain the North West Ridge. The ridge, which is broad at first, becomes knife-edged for the final 60m to the summit.

Before starting the booking process we always advise our trekkers, travelers and climbers to intelligently check whether the company is genuine and whether they are fully safe to travel in the company’s guidance.

Are they financially secured and environmentally conscious? We advise them to make sure about these formalities because there are some companies in Nepal that have been running business without abiding by the rules and regulation of the Government. Some companies were once registered but by now their licenses have already been expired and yet they have providing the services illegally.
On many occasions, Government of Nepal and Trekking Agency Association of Nepal have found that many foreigners’ tour operators, NGOs and INGOs have been involved in directly operating tours, trekking, and mountaineering holiday adventures without having government license and abiding by the Government rules. It has been also found that many individuals, freelance guides and porters have been arranging trips illegally by creating their own personal website. We have observed that many trekkers and climbers face a host of problems once they arrive in Kathmandu as they lack adequate information. Many of them file complaints to Government of Nepal and Trekking Agency Association of Nepal for legal action such as the refund of the advanced payment. There is hardly any justice given to the cheated clients. Thus, so as to prevent all these probable problems we request our travelers to check the company before booking any trip to the Himalayas.
