Tent Peak (5633m) is also known as Tharpu Chuli in Nepali. The name was given by British explorer Jimmy Roberts during his expedition to Machhapuchhare in 1957. It is the best peak in the Annapurna sanctuary that offers a great panoramic view of the surrounding mountain and nice climbing. Part of the climbing route is through the standard North West ridge route to the summit with a high base camp at (4877 meters). Tent peak with its relatively low altitude and reasonable approach, without serious objective danger, make this an attractive mountain, especially when combined with its position and ease of access. At present three routes have been recorded and many more are obviously possible. Because of the large number of climbing expeditions that enter the Sanctuary, it might well be the peak that has received a lot of unnoticed attention.

You will trek along the local trails, through forests, villages and terraced farmland treating you to unparalleled mountain scenery, giving you an inside experience into the Nepalese life and culture. An interesting climb combining glacier views, face climbing and tiptoeing on knife ridges, this mountain offers an unparalleled view of the entire Annapurna Sanctuary. A breathtaking circle of hanging glaciers surrounded by some of the highest peaks on earth. The normal route follows the North-West Ridge to the summit although the mountain has been climbed via the South-East Ridge as well as South-West Face.
