Tent Peak, also known as Tharpu Chuli is situated in the heart of
Annapurna Sanctuary and is among the few snow-clad summits at this
height range in Nepal . This peak offers an ideal opportunity for those
who want to summit a Himalayan peak, but who may otherwise be hesitant
to try a higher peak as a Himalayan debut. Besides providing an
interesting climb combining glacier travel, face climbing and tiptoeing
on knife ridges, a climb on this mountain offers an unparalleled view
of the entire Annapurna Sanctuary a breathtaking circle of hanging
glaciers and moraines surrounded by some of the most popular peaks on
earth. The normal route follows the North-West Ridge to the summit
although the mountain has been climbed via South-East Ridge as well as
South-West Face.
