Tharpu Chuli, also popular as Tent Peak, is situated in the heart of Annapurna region. Tent Peak is relatively smaller and easy trekking peak at an elevation of 5663 m but provides a magnificent view of Annapurna Massif and surrounding mountains. The climbing doesn’t require any pre-mountaineering experience or technical skills, if you are physically fit and healthy and have the desire of Himalayan summit experience in easy way and short period of time, Tent Peak is the right choice. Along with the summit, you visit the famous Poonhill, a Himalayan Vantage Point for panoramic Photographs. Machhapuchre and Annapurna Base Camp are other fabulous destinations on the way.

From Kathmandu you will head to the beautiful city of Pokhara and then Nayapul, from where the trek commences. You will walk through lush rhododendron forests, tapering ridges, swift rivers and streams to reach Poonhill, the photographers point. From there we head to MBC-ABC and finally to the base of Tent Peak. After conquering the Peak, we return to pokhara via Dovan-Jhinudanda. Along with the pristine natural experience, you will encounter the varieties of cultures and traditional lifestyles of the Himalayan people on the way.
