Sanctuary is an amphitheater, with a
range of impressive Himalayan Peaks

from the South through the Modi Khola
River valley. The immense South Face of
Annapurna South (7291m), situated at the
head of the Annapurna South Glacier,
guards the Western flank of the
Sanctuary. And right in the middle this
all is Tharpu but also seeing ranges of
mountain scenery. Tharpu Chuli is 5663m.
where the surrounding peaks are
presented in all their glory from
summit. The South Face Base Came of
Annapurna is the fine a scent to the
climbing teams, not only to the
enjoying. The trek to advance camp
involves crossing the South Annapurna
Glacier. This is not an easy crossing.
It involves a steep descent into the
glacier through very rough ground among
the confused mass of loose rocks of all
sizes on the glacier floor. Then need to
be climbed up the other side of the
glacier. It takes almost 7 hours to
reach advance camp. However, you are
rewarded with breath-taking views all
the way. Advance camp is roughly at
4500m, just on the snowline.
The high camp is at an altitude of
5000m. and is very near to the foot of
the steep snow face that led to the
summit ridge of Tharpu Chuli. It takes
about 4 hours to climb from advance camp
to high camp. Descend to Base camp will
take more than 7 hours in very slippery
conditions. . The normal route follows
the North-West Ridge to the summit
although the mountain has been climbed
via the South-East Ridge as well as
South-West Face.
