The trekking peaks are situated throughout Nepal and some are "walk ups", and some peaks are technically demanding. Most of the trekking peaks require a minimum of eight days to a maximum of three weeks for an ascent. A well equipped base camp is necessary, and the ascent of a peak requires one or more high camps that must be established and stocked. Climb High organizes expeditions to all the trekking peaks in Nepal with a team of well experienced and motivated climbing guides and Sherpas.

Singu Chuli Annapurna Sanctury
 Singu Chuli is the mountain formerly known as Fluted Peak. From Camp 2 we enjoyed a fine evening straight across the basin of which our mountain (Machhapuchhere) formed one side. The colossal rampart of Annapurna 1 rose into a golden evening, but it was a smaller peak we examined , a peak of some 22,000 feet which projected into the basin rather as Nanda Devi rises in the middle of its cirque. It was alrady known to us as Fluted Peak , or more commonly Flutters.
