The trek that starts from Phedi after a short drive of about 45 minutes from Pokhara, takes you to the Annapurna Sanctuary, the most spectacular high mountain amphitheatre, through charming Gurung villages and rhododendron forests. A chance to ascend Tent peak [5600m.], also known as Tharpu Chuli, and exploration of Annapurna sanctuary are the major highlights of this trip.
Being technically straightforward all the way up to the summit the Tent peak has been able to attract a lots of novice climbers over the past few years. It is also the second most climbed trekking peak in Nepal after Island peak in Khumbu region. A 360 degrees panoramic view of the surrounding Annapurna massif from the summit of Tent peak is simply breathtaking.
>ALPINE GRADE: PD/AD : The most difficult section is a mixed rock and ice wall at a slope of around 45 degrees leading to the narrow summit ridge.
Itinerary
D-1: arrival in Kathmandu and transfert to hotel.
We follow the trail leading to Tent peak high camp. Struggling against the glaciated mountain passes, we finally reach our target destination.
Early in the morning we begin our ascent of the peak. After crossing the glacier ( crevasses) we reach the slope that leads onto the summit ridge. This ridge is very airy and on reaching the summit we have stunning close-up views of the south face of Annapurna 1. We descend by the same itinerary.
We take a complete break from trekking to avoid adverse climatic conditions. This also allows us to rest after our strenuous trekking to enhance our health.
