Tent Peak Climb – Annapurna Trekking Peak Climbing

We receive you from the Tribhuvan International Airport with a warm welcome and take you to the hotel in Kathmandu. After getting fresh and taking some rest, we host a welcome dinner for you at the finest restaurant in the city with Nepali cuisine. We brief the team of trekkers about the trip and take you back to the hotel for the night’s sleep.

We take a trip around the UNESCO world heritage sites in Kathmandu, which are the major attraction points. Pashupatinath temple, Boudhanath stupa, Swayambhunath Stupa, and Kathmandu Durbar Square are the areas we will be roaming around for the day. These religious sites and revered by both Hindus and Buddhists. During the major religious festivals, people from all over the country as well as from other Hindu and Buddhist nations visit these places. The sites are also equally rich in art and architecture and hence an ideal place for tourists and art lovers. They also tell the ancient history of Nepal. We will also visit many small temples around these sites and spend our day thus. In the evening we return to the hotel and pack our bags with proper clothing and trekking equipment. We stay overnight at the hotel in Kathmandu.

We start with a drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara- the famous tourist destination in Nepal in a private tourist vehicle. During the journey, we enjoy the natural landscapes and the beauty of the green hillside.  Upon reaching Pokhara we head for the hotel and take a rest. We might roam around the city in the evening and enjoy singing and dancing. We spend the night at Pokhara.

From Pokhara we will drive to Naya Pul early in the morning. Our trek begins from Naya pul. We then head towards Ghandruk. The village is mostly inhabited by the Mongolian Gurung community. We will have a chance to observe the traditional way of life and cultural richness. We roam around the village and spend the night in a lodge at Ghandruk.

We start the trek with the walk through the bank of the river enjoying the captivating views around.  The walk ahead is quite rocky so we have to be careful. We then reach the Kimrong Khola and cross the suspension bridge over the river. The beautiful view of Mount Annapurna South and Mount Machhapuchhre (Fishtail Mountain) can be observed along the way. We then reach Chhomrong village. We will spend our night in the village.

We leave Chhomrong village and walk along the trail. We walk past the suspension bridge over Chhomrong river. We then reach Sinuwa. From Sinuwa we will walk along the flat trail. The trail further takes us to Bamboo through beautiful rhododendron forests. Further ahead, we walk past the steep stone steps until we reach Dobhan. Overnight at Dobhan.

We leave Dobhan and begin our trek for the day early in the morning. Today we will be walking less and enjoying more. Walking past Dobhan we take the uphill climb. We pass through small streams and rivers along the way. Nature adds beauty to the walk and makes forget the tiredness. We walk ahead until we reach Deurali. We will reach Deurali shortly so we will spend the rest of the day just strolling around the village and enjoying the natural beauty around. The night will be spent at Deurali.

The trek starts to walk through Bagar, river bed area, and then we will move ahead through the uphill trail. This trail will take us to Machhapuchhre Base Camp. Upon reaching the base camp, the breathtaking views of mountains around give a sense of sheer joy and excitement. The view of mighty peaks like Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South, Annapurna I, and others will give you one of the best experiences. We will be staying at Machhapuchhre Base Camp for the night.

We will stay for the day at Machhapuchhre Base Camp for acclimatization purpose, so that our bodies get well adjusted to the increasing altitude and we don’t get caught by any Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). In addition, we will also utilize the day for a briefing on Tent peak climbing. You will be provided instructions on basic peak climbing techniques, using the climbing gear, and safety measures to be followed during the climb. After the briefing, we may spend the rest of the day strolling around or going for a short hike. Overnight at Machhapuchhre Base Camp.

Today we will move ahead from the base camp and walk by the side of Modi Khola. Walking ahead for a while will bring us across Annapurna South glacier. The trail on the right along the glacier leads to Annapurna South Base Camp. But we will not take this trail and instead walk straight ahead towards the bridge leading to Cave Camp. Crossing the bridge, we will have to walk uphill for a while before finally reaching the Cave Camp. We will stay overnight at the camp.

Leaving Cave Camp we take the steep uphill climb to the Tent Peak High Camp. The trail around here is icy and quite difficult. We will also have to pass through glaciers so we will make use of climbing gears and climb more cautiously towards the High Camp. Once we reach the High Camp we are rewarded with magnificent views of Annapurna South, Annapurna I, Hiunchuli, Machhapuchhre, and many others. Night at High Camp.

We will be climbing the Tent Peak today. We will begin the climb early in the morning at around 3:00 AM. We will have to climb along with the rocky areas and make use of ropes wherever necessary. There are also some flat areas on the way ahead. But mostly there are steep rocky slopes. We finally reach the summit after climbing over the fixed ropes. We enjoy our success once we reach the summit. We will spend some time at the summit and then again return back to the High Camp for the night.

We will walk down from Tent Peak Base Camp today. We will take the same trail that we took on our way up. We will walk as far as Machhapuchhre Base Camp and conclude the day’s walk. We will spend the rest of the day taking rest. We will stay for the night at the base camp.

We will leave the base camp and walk down as far as Bamboo. We enjoy the view around that makes our walk more pleasing. We will pass through the waterfalls on our way ahead. The great view of mighty peaks like Machhapuchhre and Hiunchuli accompany us in our walk. We will also cross the dense forest area before finally reaching Bamboo. Overnight at Bamboo.

The trek today starts with the walk uphill and again downhill until we finally reach Chhomrong river. Further ahead, we will walk through the stone steps and towards Chhomrong. We then head towards Jhinu Danda. Upon reaching Jhinu Danda we rest for some time. There are hot water springs in the area and we will also be giving our body a good rest by enjoying in the hot springs. We head towards hot springs nearby and relax our tired muscles. We stay for the night in a lodge at Jhinu Danda.
