The Annapurna Sanctuary is one of the most popular treks in Nepal. The peak offers a challenging and achievable two-week expedition. It is located in the heart of the basin, but easy to get to - only 5 days trekking, and gives good/easy snow and ice climbing at a relatively low altitude. It is renowned for its unimpeded views to Annapurna South, Fang, Annapurna I and the magical Machhapuchhre (Fish Tail).
Description Edit • Add / Share you knowledge with mates

Tharpu Chuli is the most popular of the three Sanctuary peaks (the others being Hiunchuli and Shigu Chuli) and for good reason. Its lower altitude keeps itineraries short, the climbing reasonably straightforward and it enjoys a fabulous location, right in the centre of the Annapurna Sanctuary, giving an incredible panoramic view from its summit.
