Singuchuli, also know as the ‘Fluted Peak’ is located in the Annapurna Sanctuary. It is one of the highest ‘Trekking Peaks’ in Nepal. Singuchuli lies across the Hiuchuli peak and is adjoined to the Tharachuli peak.

Nepal has four climatic seasons
* Spring : March-May
* Summer: June-August
* Autumn: September-November
* Winter: December-February.
There is no seasonal constraint on travelling in and through Nepal. Even in December and January, when the winter is at its severest, there are compensating bright sun and brilliant views. The monsoon season does affect the summer months, so be wary that trekking can be hazardous, although there are some regions that are actually best visited at this time – please see our list of treks for more information.
