On the Final Day of the journey in Nepal, our adventure in Nepal comes to an end today! An Alpine Ramble Treks representative will escort us to the airport approximately 3 hours before our scheduled flight. On our way home, we have plenty of time to plan our next adventure in the wonderful country of Nepal.

A trek to one other Camp is necessary to prepare for the peak climb. The climb is technical in various sections. Hence a further trek to high Camp is essential to prepare for the successful peak climb.

We walk towards the northwest on a deep-cut gully. A trail leads to climbing on top of the gully. We pass the hills reaching a ridge above and then a final climb to a spot at 4877 m. after reaching the high Camp we set up our tents and spend the night looking at the gorgeous night sky.

Today is one of the exciting days of our whole journey, despite that, this is a big day of our trek as well, we will climb the Tharpu Chuli summit on this day which is our main destination. Our expert will guide you from the High Camp. The trail first moves on a flat glacier below the west side of Tharpu Chuli for an hour without any difficulty. The route turns into a moderate slope towards Rakshi peak on the left-hand side of the glacier. There are steps possible crevasses and then walking to cross at the below of fluted wall which separates Tharpu Chuli and Singu Chuli.

The route of the climb turns right with a natural snow slope at the foot of a gully. We then cross a hill on a ravine between flutings at 60 meters angle with 45 degrees. The climbing requires great effort as it is steep 55 degrees up to the last 90 meters ridge. The ridge top is broad, but it soon steeps as the climb progresses. We reach the top of the peak with the help of a support fixed rope. After reaching the top of the summit, we can see the breathtaking panorama of the Annapurna range of mountains.

Himchuli (6441m), Annapurna South (7219m), Annapurna Fang (7,647m), Annapurna I (8091m), Gangapurna (7455m), Annapurna III (7555m), Annapurna V (7525m), Mt Machhapuchhre (6993m), and Singu Chuli or Fluted Peak (6501m) are some of the mountains in the Annapurna range. The twin peak climb is an experience of a lifetime. We return to the base camp through the same route we made to the top.

We trek from Annapurna base camp to the Tharpu Chuli base camp. We walk through a rubble-covered glacier and moraine cliffs in the wilderness. Cairns north of the glacier marks the path. The trail then leads to a flat boulder near an icy stream, after crossing the stream we reach a flat grassy area of the Tharpu Chuli Base Camp. We scout the area and prepare for the climb of the Tent peak.

Today, we head back to Machhapuchhre base camp via Annapurna base camp from high camp. We descend back the same route that took us up. The views are quite different but equally amazing. The exquisite view of the mountains will be getting further away from us as we reach the Machapuchare Base Camp, where we spend the night in a lodge.

We follow the same trail as we traveled up. We descend back from Machhapuchhre Base Camp to Dovan passing by Deurali and Himalaya hotel with woodlands tree lines Modi river. We reach Dovan after a trek of 6 hours at stay at the Lodge.
