The short answer
Singu Chuli (Fluted Peak) and Tharpu Chuli (Tent Peak) rise directly above the Annapurna Sanctuary. Tent Peak is the shorter climb, while Singu Chuli is a serious, technical objective.
The Sanctuary approach is spectacular and well supplied with lodges, which makes the logistics simpler than in remote valleys.
