A climb to the Island peak
Hiunchuli 6441m lies in the Annapurna range like other two peaks Tharpu Chuli and Singu Chuli. This is considered as a sacred mountain of Gurung ethnic. This peak is one of the difficult peak climbings in Nepal. It can be climbed from southeast face and northwest face as well. This is not so difficult technically but there is still danger of rock falling. An American Peace Crops Expedition team first ascended the peak in October 1971 via southeast face.
