Tharpu Chuli (also known as Tent Peak) is a captivating mountain nestled in the heart of the Annapurna Sanctuary. Rising dramatically from the Modi Khola valley, this peak offers a perfect blend of technical climbing and stunning natural beauty. As a less crowded alternative to many Nepalese peaks, Tharpu Chuli provides climbers with a more intimate mountain experience while still delivering the grandeur of the Himalayas.
