Singu Chuli Peak Climbing overview

Singu Chuli Peak, also known as the Fluted Peak, is the third-highest trekking peak in Nepal, standing at 6,501 meters in the Annapurna Sanctuary region. This expedition is a perfect combination of challenging technical climbing and high-altitude trekking, offering adventurers an unforgettable Himalayan experience.

The climb begins with scenic drives and treks through Pokhara, Nayapul, and charming villages of the Annapurna region, passing through lush rhododendron forests, terraced farmlands, and suspension bridges over crystal-clear rivers. Trekkers will explore vibrant local communities of Gurung, Magar, and Sherpa people, gaining insights into their unique culture, traditions, and lifestyle.
