Tent peak climbing is very famous trekking peaks in Nepal. Tent peak also known as a Tharpu Chuli peak. Tent Peak is situated in the heart of Annapurna base camp at an altitude of 5663m. It has been one of the attraction centers for tourists not only for climbers but also for trekkers as there are magnificent scenic views of the great mountains lying along the Annapurna area. If you approach to the area, you also have an opportunity to summit the smaller scale of Himalayan peak. Tent peak climbing has always been a prime attraction for the majority of climbers coming to Nepal. Where the surrounding peaks are presented in all their glory from summit, The South Face Base Came of Annapurna is the finest ascent to the climbing teams, not only to the enjoying but also seeing ranges of mountain scenery.

Although the Tent peak lies in a low magnitude, the summit offers excellent panorama views of Annapurna I, Annapurna south, Annapurna III, Annapurna V, Machhapuchhare (Fish tail), Hiunchuli, Singu Chuli and Gangapurna. The professional and well experienced guides of Outfitter Nepal are committed to give you a full satisfaction and your trek to the area a memorable in lifetime, as they all have been admired for best climbing guides.

The route ascends through the beautiful river valley, interesting Gurung villages, beautiful Terence farms and high waterfalls. The surrounding mountains and the sceneries from the summit are simply superb.
