Hiunchuli lies in the Annapurna range
and it is connected to Annapurna South.
Discovered by Col. Jimmy Roberts, it is
one of the three major trekking peaks
within the "Annapurna Sancturary", to be
named by Roberts. The mountains of this
area are considered the sacred by the
Gurungs who inhabit the region. The
other two peaks within the sanctuary are
Tharpu Chuli (Tent Peak) and Singu Chuli
(Fluted Peak). Hiunchuli was first
summited by an American Peace Corps
Expedition under the leadership of Craig
Anderson in October 1971. Although it is
easy to reach the mountain and the
popularity of the Annapurna Sancutary
with trekkers and climbers, the actual
ascent of Hinuchuli is considered one of
the most difficult among the trekking
peaks.
