    Tharpu Chuli commonly known as Tent Peak is a magnificent mountain located in the Annapurna Range of the Himalayas. In 1956, Sir Jimmy Robert called it the Tent Peak because of the shape of its summit flat like the tent. Being 5,663 meters above sea level, it is less difficult than other peak climbing making it perfect for beginners as well. This trek takes you to the idyllic towns of Nayapul, Tikhedhunga, Ulleri, Ghorepani, Tadapani, Chhomrung, Sinuwa Danda, Bamboo, Dovan, Himalaya, Deurali, Machhapuchhre Base Camp, and Annapurna Base Camp. If you are fortunate, you may also encounter endangered species such as snow leopards, musk deer, and Himalayan black bears during the trip. The most prominent feature of the Tent Peak climbing expedition is the 360-degree view from the top of Annapurna massif. It is an amazing experience full of excitement of climbing and an opportunity to be acquainted with beautiful nature all around. Tent Peak is pretty popular amongst the trekkers and climbers of the Annapurna region, and its considerably lower altitude makes it an excellent solution for those who are looking for an adventure that is both difficult and satisfying, but not too extreme like the Mera, Lobuche, or Island peaks. In the end, Tent Peak presents you with a memorable trip with the combination of thrill, adventure, cultural discovery, and the magnificence of the Himalayas.

    In February of 1959, nine hikers from the Ural Polytechnic Institute went out into the wilderness of the Ural Mountains. None of them would come out alive. Despite the best efforts of investigators, nobody could figure out just what happened to them: they concluded that a "compelling, natural force" had driven the hikers to their death. Needless to say, that didn't even come close to satisfying the public. The year is now 1964, and another mountaineer from the Ural Polytechnic Institute is turning heads. Nika Orlova is a prodigy in mountaineering, scaling mountains that most can't. Many people are fascinated by her, including investigators and family members who can't let the investigation into the Dyatlov hikers go unsolved. After more strange things are reported around the mountain where the hikers died and a chance meeting with the close friend of the hikers, Nika has decided that the time has come for her to investigate what happened to the hikers five years previously. She and others affected by the case head out for the Siberian wilderness to find out once and for all what killed the Dyatlov hikers. However, from the moment they get out there, it becomes apparent that there are unnatural forces at play in the mountains. And the longer they're out there, Nika can't help but wonder: are they about to face the same fate?
