Singu Chuli climbing

Singu Chuli peak, an attractive mountain for climbing, is also known as Fluted Peak. The mountain can be seen from Annapurna South base camp but the better shape of the mountain with pointed ridge of snow and ice is seen from the moraines above the lodges. The mountain can be approached from several routes: North-East Face, South Ridge and   West Face.

We follow the trekking trail up to Machhapuchhre base camp and then cross South Annapurna Glaciers and moraines to reach grassy meadows to a rock overhang which can be used as base camp (4,200m.). We climb through the glaciers towards north and pass through grassy shelf to reach a ridge where we will set up high camp (4900m.). From this camp we continue climbing between the glaciers and the flank of the mountain to reach a plateau below the North-East Face. Singu Chuli climbing  is the first summit on the long ridge thrown down from Tarke Kang (Glacier Dome), which separates the South and West Annapurna Glaciers. Annapurna South Base Camp provides the best distant view of the mountain.
