Singu Chuli, also known as fluted peak climbing, is an exceptionally outstanding trekking peak expedition in Annapurna located north of Mount Gangapurna. Singu Chuli is one of the highest trekking peaks in the Nepal Himalaya; it can be climbed by amateur mountaineers with basic climbing experience. Still, Wilderness Excursion suggests that Singu Chuli expedition participants need to be trained, as this is a physically challenging peak climbing trip in the Annapurna region. Basic knowledge of technical climbing skills is required on summit day, such as walking with crampons, zoomers, figure of eight to rappel down, so it is preferable that you have used these previously.
We follow the legendary Annapurna Base Camp trail route via the famous Ghorepani Poon Hill trek that allows participants to get physically acclimatized and tackles good physical fitness. From Chhumrung the trail goes up to Modi Khola (River) valley; our itinerary passes through many beautiful Gurung and Magar villages above the Modi upstream. You will be greatly amused by cultural and natural sites while approaching the Singu Chuli climb. Encountering many regular Annapurna Base Camp trekkers sharing warm, cozy dining with them until Machhapuchare Base Camp and acclimatization hike to the famous Annapurna Base Camp is an exceptional part of the trip. Despite all these six days set aside for the summit Singuchuli, including climbing with full support of crew members in a tented camp. Leading to the Singu Chuli expedition through a narrow gully being the most challenging portion of the trip. Climbing the much stiffer proposition below the summit is some technical difficulties on this climb; however, the views from the top are beyond belief and make all the tough effort worthwhile.
All climbing expeditions are led by experienced and well-trained climbing guides who have good communication skills comparatively and high-altitude medical judgment to undertake entire responsibilities to complete the trip successfully and safely. We also try to support team members to join this Singu Chuli peak climbing who have a better understanding and positive attitudes about what to expect on such adventure holidays. A climbing permit is required for Singu Chuli Peak that costs USD 400 for spring (March – May), USD 200 for autumn (September–November), and summer (June – Aug) respectively, costing USD 100/100 per person. We include climbing permits as a part of the package we offered.
