Tharpu chuli Peak Climbing.
Tharpu Chuli (Tent peak) is located in the Annapurna sanctuary. The sanctuary is an amphitheatre, with a range of impressive Himalayan peaks forming a vast bowl, accessible only from the south through Modi Khola River Valley. The immense south face of Annapurna south (7291m) situated at the head of Annapurna south glacier, guards the western flank of the sanctuary. Right in the middle this all is Tharpu but also seeing ranges of mountain scenery. Tharpu Chuli is such peak where surrounding peaks are presented in all their glory from summit. The south face base camp of Annapurna is the fine ascent to the climbing teams, not only to the enjoying. This is not the easy crossing. It involves the steep descent onto the glacier through very rough ground among the confused mass os loose rocks of all sizes on the glacier floor. It takes almost seven hours to reach to advance camps; however, you are rewarded with breath taking views all the way. Advance camp is roughly at 4500m, just on the snowline. This climbing offers one of the outstanding viewpoints of the Annapurna massive. From the summit of this climbing you can see the superb panorama of Huinchuli (6331m/26771 ft ) , Annapurna south ( 7219m/ 23684 ft ) , Fang ( 25089 ft ) , Gangapurna(24459 ft ) , Annapurna 3 ( 7555m) , Machhapuchhre( 22943 ft ) and of course Singu Chuli or Fluteed Peak ( 21329 ft ).
