Trip Highlights

The moments that matter most

The main highlight of Tent Peak climbing is reaching the summit itself. Standing at 5,695 m (18,684 ft), you will experience a true sense of achievement and enjoy stunning views of the surrounding Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges.

Tent Peak climbing takes place in the picturesque Annapurna region, known for its diverse landscapes, lush forests, and charming villages. The journey offers an immersive experience in this Himalayan paradise.

Tent Peak provides an opportunity to develop your mountaineering skills. While it is considered a moderately technical climb, it offers a thrilling challenge with steep slopes, snow, and ice, adding excitement to the expedition.

Trip Overview

A closer look

The Annapurna region of Nepal is the most prolific and spectacular place for outdoor activities. Besides trekking, peak climbing and expeditions are among the best ways to enrich your holiday. Tent Peak (5,663 m), also called Tharpu Chuli, is one of the most popular trekking peaks for climbing in the Annapurna sector. The trek to Tent Peak offers trekkers the opportunity to explore Annapurna Base Camp and Machhapuchhre Base Camp as well, making it a double delight for climbers.

The journey to Tent Peak begins similarly to the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek or Annapurna Base Camp Trek. Once you have reached Machhapuchhre Base Camp, you can choose to spend another night at Annapurna Base Camp before moving toward the Cave Camp to embark on the peak climbing adventure. The peak lies on the southern side of Annapurna. You will be captivated by the panoramic view of the mountains from the top of Tharpu Chuli. Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, Hiunchuli, and many others can be seen from the summit. Once you have successfully climbed the mountain, you return to Pokhara where you can enjoy boating, cave exploration, and paragliding.

The Mountain Hawk team is proud to say that we have some of the most dedicated and experienced Sherpa and mountaineering guides, many of whom have scaled Mt. Everest. With determination and proper guidance, we will help you reach the summit in style.

Honest Check

Is this trek for you?

A few things worth knowing before you commit. No sugar-coating, no surprises on day one.

Expectations

Before you book

4

You should be in excellent general fitness and comfortable on steep snow with crampons. Prior high altitude experience helps but is not required with our conservative acclimatisation schedule.

There is a genuine risk of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) on any trip with multiple overnight stays above 3,500m. Your climbing guide will monitor O2 and pace daily.

Teahouses on the approach are simple and basic. Electricity and hot showers may cost extra in the higher villages.

Travellers under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
