Check List

Singu Chuli (6,501m) was formerly known as the ‘Flute Peak’. The first ascent of this peak was made by Wilf Noyce and David Cox on its North–East Face and the top section of the East Ridge.

Singu Chuli lies to the North of Tharpu Chuli along a connecting ridge. This mountain is a much stiffer proposition than Tharpu Chuli, and is the highest of all the trekking peaks in the area. There are no straight forward routes up the mountain. This trek is strongly recommended for real upfront excellent mountain views. You will enjoy the great cultural diversity in Ghandruk-Chhomorong and Ghorepani. Before entering the Fish Tail (Machhapuchhare Base Camp) and Annapurna Base Camp, you can relax for a while and enjoy the panoramic views of the world’s highest mountains. Attempting this peak is thrilling adventure to its core.
