Hiunchuli Peak Climbing is an adventurous way of summiting Hiunchuli Peak attached to the Annapurna Himalayan Range. And along the way, we also get to experience Ghorepani Poon Hill, Annapurna Base Camp, and Dhampus trekking that truly redefines the natural and cultural aspects of trekking in the Annapurna region. American Peace Corps team first summited the Hiunchuli peak in 1971 via the south face. And the same route has been mostly followed since then. This Peak is not a technical climbing peak but it comes with the risk of avalanches and rockfalls.
Hiunchuli Peak Climbing starts as we drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara followed by the initiation of the trek from Nayapul. Making our way through Ghorepani Poon Hill with mesmerizing sunrise views over the Himalayas, we head towards Annapurna Base Camp via Macchapuchre(Fishtail) base camp and to Hinko cave. Then we set up a high camp and summit Hiunchuli peak on the 12th day of the trip. After summiting the peak at an altitude of 6441 meters, we return to Hinko Cave on the same day. And finally, we trek through beautiful Gurung inhabited villages like Dhampus, Pothana and get back to Kathmandu from Pokhara.
The best time to go for Hiunchuli Peak Climbing would be during the spring months from March to May and during the autumn months of September, October, and November. You must be in good physical fitness before joining this trip. Therefore, join Hiunchuli Peak Climbing .
