Tharpu Chuli is situated at the heart of the Annapurna Sanctuary. It is an attractive mountain that forms part of the ridgeline, standing south of Glacier Dome. The ridge also includes Singu Chuli and acts as a central divider between the semicircles of peaks enclosing the Sanctuary. This Peak offers an interesting climb and a spectacular view of the Annapurna range. The peak was nicknamed ‘Tent Peak’ by Jimmy Roberts in 1956.
