Singu Chuli Peak Climbing (6,501m) was formerly known as the ‘Flute Peak’. This peak situated in the Annapurna Sanctuary adjoined to Tharpu Chuli and across Hiunchuli peaks. Wilf Noyce and David Cox made the first ascent of this peak. They have made it from its Northeast Face and the top section of the East Ridge.

For Climbing Singu Chuli peak, walk up the Modi Khola gorge to the Annapurna Sanctuary. Base camp at around 4350m and then establish two higher camps, one at 4,900m at the approach of North East Face and a higher one at 5,500m on the North East Face of the mountain before catching the summit. A vertical wall near the summit fronts some technical challenges on this climb. Singu Chuli Peak climb is suggested to only those with some alpine and ice climbing experience. This mountain is a much stiffer proposition than Tharpu Chuli, and is the highest of all the trekking peaks in the area. There are no straightforward routes up the mountain. This trek strongly recommended for real upfront excellent mountain views.
