Hiunchuli
(6441m.) is the fourth highest peak among the ‘trekking Peaks’
and one of the least difficult by expeditions lies
in the Annapurna range and it is connected to Annapurna South
discovered by Col. Jimmy Roberts. It is one of the three major
trekking peaks within the "Annapurna Sanctuary",
to be named by Roberts. To attempt the mountain you will need some mountaineering skill and is
relatively easy to get the climbing permission.
The formidable front wall of the sanctuary has a fearsome reputation and
there is no 'standard' route up. Any route is a challenging
technical climb with devilish route finding, and is best tackled
in true expedition style.
South-East
Face Route:
The route
to base camp starts from Hinku Cave on the Annapurna Sanctuary
trail. After establishing the first camp somewhere above the
valley floor a further 2 camps are necessary to make it to
the top. Although not technically extreme this route is exposed
to rock fall and dangers area is a complicated route-finding
experience.
North-West
Face Route:
The ascent by the North-West Face has been attempted only
by a very few climbers and not always successfully. The exact
route is not well known. The approach is from the Annapurna
Base Camp in the Sanctuary and a further 2 camps may be necessary
to complete this not so well known ascent.
This trip sets out from
Pokhara valley. From Pokhara valley, the trail leads up slowly
towards Annapurna Base camp situated at an altitude of 4300m.
One day rest will be set to explore the Annapurna Base camp
and for the acclimatization. Annapurna Base camp is considered
as the Hiunchuli Base camp too. Three to four days are set
aside for the ascent of this peak and then you will return
ahead to Pokhara valley followed by same route as in the ‘Annapurna
Sanctuary’ trek.
Further Information to arrange
a climb to above trekking peak will be provided on request.
