Hiunchuli Peak Climbing 22 Days 21 Night

of 22 reviews
Generic placeholder image

Overview

Hiunchuli Peak Climbing (6441 m) lies in the Annapurna region and is connected to Annapurna South (7219 m). Himchuli peak is an exciting opportunity for climbers and Sange Sherpa Adventure to organize this challenging climbing trip. Himchuli was first summited by an American Peace Corps Expedition under the leadership of Col. Jimmy Roberts in October 1971 via its southeast face. Access to Hiunchuli Peak Climbing is relatively easy as it follows the well-developed trekking trail in the Annapurna Sanctuary. Mardi Peak Climbing

Nevertheless, the mountain receives comparatively little attention from climbers. The Himchuli Peak is not technically difficult to climb but is vulnerable to rock falls, and route finding may also be a problem. Depending on the weather conditions, there can also be a significant avalanche risk. However, it also offers major new route potential for adventurous climbers. Snowy Horizon is one of the few companies with the experience to successfully organize this trip. Pisang peak climbing lies in this region too. To access base camp, we follow the Annapurna sanctuary trekking trail up to Hinko and climb a very steep hillside to grassy meadows where we establish the base camp to climb the peak via the South-East face (which is the normal route). Thorong Peak Climbing

South-East Face Route: This is the ‘normal route’. We access the base camp from Hinko Cave on the Annapurna Sanctuary trail. After establishing the first camp somewhere above the valley, a further two camps are usually necessary to make it to the top.  North-West Face Route: The ascent via the North-West face is less frequented as it can prove trickier. The exact route can change depending on the conditions and requires some local recon. It requires more experience with judging snow and general mountain conditions. The general approach is from the Annapurna Base Camp in the Sanctuary and a further two camps may be necessary to complete this ascent. Dhaulagiri Circutit Trek
