Singu Chuli Peak

Peak Singu Chuli (6501m.) is the 3rd highest amongst the all trekking peaks in Nepal. This formerly called Fluted Peak is situated in the Annapurna Sanctuary adjoined to Tharpu Chuli, splendid amphitheatre of glaciers and nodes with, in background the mythical southern face of Annapurna. This peak is an attractive and compared its beauty with India's highest and probably the most beautiful peak, Nanda Devi. This peak is considered to be one of the toughest trekking peak of Nepal. Part of the difficulty is the steepness of the mountain but the main difficulty is in the summit: a 100-foot high block of ice coated with snow. There are a number of different routes on this mountain with the icefalls.

Trekking uphill through Gurung villages and following the gorge of Modhi River we will arrive at the base camp of Singu Chuli. Base camp at 4350m. We establish two higher camps, one at 4,900m at the approach of North East Face and a higher one at 5,500m. on the North East Face of the mountain before the summit is scaled. A vertical wall near the summit poses some technical challenge on this climb. So, basic alpine and ice climbing experience is necessary.
