Tharpu
Chuli (Tent Peak) is located in the Annapurna sanctuary.
The Sanctuary is an amphitheater, with a range of impressive
Himalayan Peaks forming a vast bowl, accessible only from
the South through the Modi
Khola River valley. The immense South Face of Annapurna South
(7291m), situated at the head of
the Annapurna South Glacier, guards the Western flank
of the Sanctuary. And right in the middle this all is
Tharpu but also seeing ranges of mountain scenery.
Tharpu Chuli is 5663m. where the surrounding peaks
are presented in all their glory from summit. The South
Face Base Came of Annapurna is the fine a scent to the climbing
teams, not only to the enjoying. The trek to advance camp
involves crossing the South
Annapurna Glacier. This is not an easy crossing. It
involves a steep descent into the glacier through very
rough ground among the confused mass of loose rocks
of all sizes on the glacier floor. Then need to be climbed
up the other side of the glacier. It takes almost 7 hours
to reach advance camp. However, you are
rewarded with breath-taking views all the way. Advance
camp is roughly at 4500m, just on the snowline.
The
high camp is at an altitude of 5000m. and is very near to
the foot of the steep snow face that led to the summit ridge
of Tharpu Chuli. It takes about 4 hours to climb from advance
camp to high camp. Descend to Base camp will take more than
7 hours in very slippery conditions. .
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.
