Singu Chuli formerly known as
Fluted Peak is the highest
amongst the "Trekking Peaks" of
Nepal. Wilfred Noyce, the first
man to summit this shapely
mountain with David Cox compared
its beauty with India's highest
and probably the most beautiful
peak, Nanda Devi. This peak is
situated in the Annapurna
Sanctuary adjoined to Tharpu
Chuli and across Hiunchuli
peaks. We arrive at the base
camp of Singu Chuli in
spectacular six days walk up the
Modi Khola gorge to the
Annapurna Sanctuary. Base camp
at around 4350m/14668ft and then
establishes two higher camps,
one at 4,900m/16,000ft at the
approach of NorthEast Face and a
higher one at 5,500m/18,000ft.
On the North East Face of the
mountain before the summit is
gained. Vertical walls near the
summit pose some technical
challenge on this climb. This
climb is suggested to only those
with some alpine and ice
climbing experience. |
