It is one of the most climbed peaks along with the trek of Annapurna Base Camp and we will have the opportunity to see breathtaking views of the Dhaulagiri ranges is also seen while climbing the peak. The trail moves through delightful terraced farms, green hills, and Himalayan water streams. This trail is just 40km far from the tourist town Pokhara.

Tent Peak Climbing is not as challenging as the other peak climbing. But it offers excellent short trekking and peak climbing experience. The view from the summit of this peak climbing is arguably one of the best Himalayan views which include Annapurna I, III, and south, Hiunchuli, and many more. It is an expedition to gain some mountaineering experience without taking much risk. The natural vegetation of the alpine forest, lush flower, and green valleys and their picturesque view are enough to pleasure for this trek. The peak is with many other attractive peaks and the climb up to the summit is suitable for those who are healthy.

Lodge Accommodation and Camping

A tea-house is a combination of a guest house and it is very simple in the high Himalayans. It is very difficult to get a room in the high Himalayas so you have to book a room in advance. The accommodation in the valley and the major cities will be according to your requirement which takes great care to arrange the most comfortable accommodation possible throughout your stay.  In the lodge or tea-house, the rooms are very simple and usually have two narrow beds with sheets, pillow, mattress, and blanket and you have to carry an extra sleeping bag which is very much needed while trekking along the route. You will have breakfast and dinner in the guest house where you spend overnight.

In the high land, all the guest houses serve a typical Nepalese food. In the high land, you have to share a toilet with others and most of the lodges have a hot shower service but you have to pay extra for it. While doing this peak climbing you have to spend two days in the tent in the high camp where you will get all the good accommodations.

Best season Annapurna Base Camp and Tent Peak

For trekking first of all you have to collect the information about the season to trek. There are two seasons for trekking all over Nepal autumn and spring and you can trek in winter also but due to fog everywhere you can’t see the views of the mountain and natural beauties. The weather and temperature are promising for climbing a peak that is 5695m from the sea level and the overall weather condition is suitable in both upper and lower regions. The best seasons for climbing this peak in Nepal are during spring and autumn and the warm days make this season favorable for trekking and expeditions.

How is Difficulty Tent Peak Climbing?

Tent Peak climbing difficulty is considered to be moderately challenging. You have to trek in remote areas where no modern facilities are available and the trail can get steep and rugged from time to time. It is indeed a beautiful peak for basic mountaineering to carry out their expeditions. It is both an easy and difficult climb to complete and it all that on your skill and preparations.

Altitude sickness

Nepal is the land of the Himalayas we have very High mountains so altitude sickness. It is a common type of temporary problem that arises while hiking in high lands or mountains. The real problems of altitude sickness occur at heights above 3000m from the sea level which is a problem that exists in every high-altitude trekking and climbing. It mainly happens if your body did not acclimatize to the increased altitude problem which can ruin the trip as in the worst case you have to return without completing the task.

This is an illness caused by a due gain in elevation and compared to sea level the amount of oxygen in the higher altitude is less and the oxygen levels go thinners continue to gain higher altitude. This is one of the biggest challenges in mountains and there are many rules to make our bodies adaptable to the altitude. The higher you go the higher risk of the altitude sickness.
