Overview of Chulu East Peak Climbing
Chulu East
Peak is an ideal peak for those climbers who want to expand their climbing
skills beyond other trekking peaks, including the Everest region. Chulu East
Peak is one of the highest trekking peaks in the Manag Himal under the remote
rains of the shadowy areas of the sprawling Annapurna Himalayas, which lies
southeast of Chulu West and Manang. The German expedition made its first ascent
in history through the northeast ridge, the summit of Chulu East, in 1955,
along with Chulu West, an integral part of the Manang Himal, which in turn
belongs to the largest Damodar Himal.
The
Chulu East Peak is a real technical expedition trekking summit in Nepal. A
climbing period of 4 to 6 days from the base camp is required. There are many
cracks between Chulu Far East and the east. It would be best if you had a lot
of tight rope to the north ridge. You start your journey by car to Besishar, a
traditional Annapurna trekking route, or fly to Hundy Airport and follow the
Marsyandgi Khola through various landscapes and cultural villages from the
subtropical country of the Gurung to the high Tibetan region of the Manang.
Then the river of the Chhetaji Khola path Yak Kharka reaches 4000 m, the base
camp Chulu east is very steep above the waterfall. You will have lunch at the
Chulu East base camp, and you can climb the small mountain in its excellent
condition and back to the camp. The base camp to the high camp also rises
abruptly and reaches the rocky platform, and there is a small lake and near the
lake is the high camp (5300 m) for two and a half hours. The next day it will
be weak for the summit in the early morning. First, it's the difficult road and
the steep and icy path, the best way to fasten the rope, that when it reaches
the cold southwest and the right ridge leads to Chulu Far East. The east
continues through a deep snow gap, and then you can build a camp (I) on the
5,500 m list.
Camp (II) tilts
the crest, and you flow the north ridge from peak to peak. From the submit, you
will have a beautiful view of South Annapurna and north of the mountains that
define the edge of the vast Tibetan plateau. You can take pleasure in a
spectacular view of Mount Annapurna II, III, IV, Mount Manaslu, Pisang Peak,
Chulu, and the north side of the Himlung valley. The Chulu East Peak Expedition
combines the best elements of a Himalayan expedition. The climbing tour to
Chulu East Peak is strenuous and requires every participant to know alpine snow
climbing skills well. It is a great way to explore Nepal's culture and climb
two Himalayas' peaks most safely. After having a lot of experience in the
Himalayas of Climbing Chulu East Peak, finish the trip early in the morning and
at the end of the trip
Flying to Kathmandu is itself an exciting and unforgettable experience. On a clear day, you get a panoramic view of the high snow-capped peaks. After you complete the visa formalities, one of our representatives will greet you and will take you to your hotel with our vehicle. As soon as you arrive at the hotel, you will also be greeted by them. Afterward, you can relax in your room or take a walk through the city.
Today, after breakfast, you will start early drive from Kathmandu to Dharapani. The drive heads west along the Trisuli River, then branches off the Pokhara Highway and heads north along the Marshyangdi River. You usually arrive in Besisahar in the early afternoon and then take a private jeep to reach Dharapani. You will follow the Marshyangdi Valley all day.
An uphill excursion takes you to the Chame village, famous for its hospitality and spectacular views. It is your first opportunity to enjoy panoramic views of Annapurna II, III, and Lamjung Himal.
You will find that the environment changes as natural trees and plants become scarcer, as the terrain changes into a drier, desert-rich climate. From Chame, you reach of over 3,000 meters.
Today, after breakfast, you start your walk early in the morning and walk 3 hours to get breathtaking views from Gyaru village. After spending an hour there, you will continue your trip to Ngawal and spend the night at the Ngawal Tea House.
Ngawal is an ideal place to spend a day for many reasons. First, you will acclimatize to the altitude and save your energy to make your ascent to Chulu East Peak successful. Second, this is the part of the hike that you are closest to the mountains on. Most people climb the hill behind Nagwal to enjoy the magnificent view of the entire Annapurna Mountains and the vast ice waterfall that crashes and rumbles from Gangapurna. Sunset and sunrise over this natural amphitheater are one of the most beautiful views in the area.
The path crosses the Cheggi Khola and gradually rises to a peaceful apple field known for its stone huts and picturesque places. Pass a mighty waterfall fed by a high cliff in the distance before reaching a small meadow where local goats and yaks are fed. Finally, you get Yak Kharka, where you will make camp near an impressive mountain ridge that offers a view of the mighty mountains that tower over the valley.
After enjoying a sunrise view, you follow the winding path before the meadow meets a large rock formation. You will be camping near an impressive vantage point that looks out over the Annapurna giants rising above the clouds.
Today, you will rest all day to adjust to the elevation. You have a day off to relax, chat with the locals, pack your gear for the next day, or take a few short walks to enjoy the local scenery.
After packing and organizing your equipment, you move on the way and admire the rapidly changing landscape as you reach higher altitudes. Then you follow a steep path that leads to Camp I's strategic location, which gives the best access to the summit. You will set up camp here and enjoy a panoramic sunset view while the mountains reflect the hills' pink sunlight.
Today, you take an easy day and return to the base camp. It makes you a long time to descend the slippery path safely. When you arrive at Camp I, you can rest or take a short walk to enjoy more of the local landscape.
Since we cannot guarantee a favorable climate for the day of the planned summit, we have prepared an additional day in the schedule if you cannot submit due to bad weather or other reasons. For example, if a person in the group with acclimatization problems is unable to reach the top of Chulu West Peak at the scheduled time, the extra day is helpful.
You return to the original path that leads to Manang through various agricultural fields. Take the time to stop at the Braga Monastery and see the daily routine of the local monks. The monastery is famous for its beautiful views of the Annapurna region, and you will stop to enjoy the mountain's spiritual scene.
Today, you continue your journey through pastures to a settlement called Letdar, from where you have an excellent view of Chulu West. From here, the path follows the bank of Jarsang Khola, a tributary of the Marsyangdi, before it leads up the stony slopes over the river to Phedi.
Today, you have to start very early to cross the Thorung La Pass junction. The path becomes steep immediately after leaving the camp; the track is well defined. The slope flattens after about 4 hours of constant climbing. From the snow-capped mountains above to the Kali Gandaki valley's head below, you are surrounded by the brown and purple Mustang hills, which offer a unique perspective.
Today, you will walk towards the Kali Gandaki Gorge, passing Kagbeni, before you reach Jomson. You will stay here at night to learn more about the Tibetan people's local culture and customs as you explore this area.

Essential Information
Travel
insurance:
Travel
insurance for each itinerary of our company is a prerequisite for booking
vacations. At a minimum, you must have emergency and repatriation insurance
that must include the mountain rescue cost. Carefully review the terms and
conditions of your insurers. In particular, you should ensure that the following
are covered: 1) Activity (i.e., tourism, trekking or mountaineering) 2) Maximum
altitude reached during trekking 3) Evacuation of the helicopter in an
emergency. It would be best to understand that you will bear the cost of the
evacuation and return procedures. It is your responsibility to take all costs
associated with removal or medical treatment. You must be fully aware of travel
insurance's effects and understand your policy's limitations and exclusions.
Please note that in certain circumstances, our company guide can initiate
helicopter rescue operations (or other necessary operations) in medical
emergencies without first seeking approval from your insurance company.
Trekking
and climbing guide and other staff arrangements
Experienced
and professional mountaineers and guides lead your expeditions. You have
climbed the mountain several times, with other crew members' support and
logistics for the trip. Not only in terms of qualifications, but we also make
sure that our managers can demonstrate proven success when climbing mountains
at high altitudes. The number of guides depends on the team's size to maximize
each climber's chances of reaching the top without compromising safety. Our
expedition leaders are also experienced in treating altitude problems, including
acute mountain sickness (AMS). Crew members are adept at building tents and
campgrounds, trail snowmelt, cooking, and other daily necessities.
Physical
condition and experience requirements
The Chulu
East peak is rated 2D in difficulty. It means that the technical challenge dose
does not include very steep ice and climbing. Climbers should feel safe and
comfortable when ascending or descending fixed ropes along the steep technical
terrain. We also recommend that climbers already have experience in ice and ice
climbing, significantly over 6,000 m. You require a high level of physical and
mental fitness. Since the climbing experience will be exhausting, climbers with
previous experience must be in good physical shape.
Acclimatization
The route of
the Chulu East is planned with a high level of knowledge of AMS. Climbing too
high up too quickly leads to an illness that is serious enough to cause death.
As much higher altitude, the oxygen levels less in the air. For example, at
more than 5000 m altitudes, there is 50% less oxygen than at sea level.
Therefore, your body needs more days to adapt to size with less oxygen. During
this trip, we have separate reserve days for acclimatization only. Besides, the
gradual walk will get used to the height better. There is also a different day
reserved as an emergency if things do not go as planned.
Guests with
known heart, lung, or blood disorders are advised to consult their doctor
before traveling. Mild headaches, fever, loss of appetite, or stomach upset are
symptoms of AMS. The company's travel routes were created with the most
excellent care for AMS. However, please know that some people are more
vulnerable than others.
Trekking
day
Since you
are in a remote rural area, you will experience the early bedtime and early
morning hours. A typical day of trekking begins around 6 or 7 a.m. enjoy a
hearty breakfast and get started. Take your bag with the personal items you
need for the day. Walk at your own pace, enjoy the scenery, chat with the
locals, and take pictures. The lunch break depends on the terrain and is
prepared by our catering team. Usually stops after about 3 hours of walking for
lunch. The lunchtime also helps with acclimatization. The goal would be to get
to the next stop at sunset. After reaching the overnight point, the crew
members arrange the tents. You can relax with a cup of tea or coffee or take a
nice walk in the camp. Dinner would be ready around 7 p.m. Enjoy dinner and
share the day's experiences with the team members.
The climb to Chulu East is technically difficult for new
climbers. A climb to peaks like Chulu West and Chulu East with trekking the
Annapurna Circuit in the Annapurna area is one of the most spectacular trekking
and climbing areas in the Himalayas.

times and many other mountains. I m planning to climbing another mountain and
