Hiunchuli Peak Climbing is not a popular climbing peak in the Annapurna sanctuary. But it is absolutely, one of the most beautiful, with views from Ghandruk, Tadapani, Chhomrong, Sinuwa, Annapurna base camp, and other Annapurna trekking locations. The south face of Hiun chuli looks to be connecting with the south face of Annapurna.

Once the first camp is put up somewhere above the valley level, you’ll need to fix up two additional camps to reach the peak. While not technically difficult but this path is subject to rockfall and other sera hazards, making it a challenging path issue.

 

North-West Face Route:
