Hiunchuli (6441m.) is the fourth
highest peak among the ‘trekking Peaks’ and one of the
least difficult by expeditions lies in the Annapurna
range and it is connected to Annapurna South discovered
by Col. Jimmy Roberts. It is one of the three major
trekking peaks within the "Annapurna Sanctuary", to be
named by Roberts. To attempt the mountain you will need
some mountaineering skill and is relatively easy to get
the climbing permission. The formidable front wall of
the sanctuary has a fearsome reputation and there is no
'standard' route up. Any route is a challenging
technical climb with devilish route finding, and is best
tackled in true expedition style.
South-East Face Route:
The route to base camp starts from Hinku Cave on the
Annapurna Sanctuary trail. After establishing the first
camp somewhere above the valley floor a further 2 camps
are necessary to make it to the top. Although not
technically extreme this route is exposed to rock fall
and dangers area is a complicated route-finding
experience.
North-West Face Route:
The ascent by the North-West Face has been attempted
only by a very few climbers and not always successfully.
The exact route is not well known. The approach is from
the Annapurna Base Camp in the Sanctuary and a further 2
camps may be necessary to complete this not so well
known ascent.
This trip sets out from Pokhara valley. From Pokhara
valley, the trail leads up slowly towards Annapurna Base
camp situated at an altitude of 4300m. One day rest will
be set to explore the Annapurna Base camp and for the
acclimatization. Annapurna Base camp is considered as
the Hiunchuli Base camp too. Three to four days are set
aside for the ascent of this peak and then you will
return ahead to Pokhara valley followed by same route as
in the ‘Annapurna Sanctuary’ trek. |
