Everest Sherpa Alpine Quest: Thorong Peak (6,100 m) Climbing Expedition

Embark on an exhilarating adventure with Thorong Peak Climbing, a captivating expedition in the heart of the Annapurna region. Standing proudly at 6100 meters, Thorong Peak offers a challenging yet accessible climb, making it a popular choice for adventurers seeking a remarkable peak-climbing experience.

Contrary to the misconception that prior trekking peak experience is essential, Thorong Peak welcomes enthusiasts of varying backgrounds. This snow-capped beauty graces the landscape just south of the renowned Thorong La pass (5416m), a thoroughfare for thousands of trekkers each year. To partake in this thrilling climb, mental preparedness is paramount, coupled with physical fitness for the demands of this adventurous expedition.

Permits and a seasoned climbing guide from a registered trekking agency in Nepal are prerequisites for ascending Thorong Peak. While prior climbing knowledge is beneficial, a resolute spirit and robust health are indispensable for this challenging endeavor. The trek to Thorong Peak unfolds amidst breathtaking mountain panoramas, traversing charming Gurung settlements adorned with slate-covered houses. A mesmerizing exploration of the rhododendron-filled jungles, Nepal's national flower, adds diverse hues to the journey.

Thorong Peak stands tall as a beacon at 6100 meters, gracefully positioned to the south of Thorung La. As the shortest route to conquer a 6000m peak during the renowned Annapurna Circuit Trek, Thorong Peak promises awe-inspiring views. The trek's pinnacle is the Thorong La pass at 5416 meters, offering a vantage point to behold the splendor of this snow-clad gem.

Trip Notes

Trip Notes The Team

The Trekking Day

The day usually begins between 6.30 am and 7.30 am, with breakfast. During breakfast, the crew members make up the loads for the porters. You often start hiking by 7:30 am, though we wait for the sun to warm the air at higher altitudes.

The pace for the day is set at a lower speed. Instead, you will have time to become aware of everything around you and to enjoy it. Our guides are excellent timekeepers but cannot make you rush over the mountains!

The afternoon walk follows a similar pattern to the morning; it is often shorter, and your lodge is usually reached between 4 pm and 5 pm. There is plenty of time to relax or explore the surrounding area until the evening meal is served at about 6.30 pm. After dinner, there is time to chat, read or enjoy a game of cards with our crew. Most members are asleep by 9 pm.

We provide a highly experienced team of IFMGA/UIAGM guides, assistant guides if required, cook and kitchen staff, rope fixing team, and high-altitude workers. Our team is committed to ensuring your safety and satisfaction during your adventure.
