Trip Overview
Chulu East Peak Climbing is a combined Himalayan trekking trip with the classic trek around the Annapurna massifs. You will ascend the Marshyangdi valley and cross the Thorung La before descending the Kali Gandaki valley to the most tourism places to visit in Nepal, Pokhara.

Chulu East Peak Climbing Route
Chulu East Peak climbing is technically straightforward peak climbing in Nepal. You should be familiar and know how to use your equipment such as crampons, harness, ice axe, tying knots and handling climbing ropes. Most of the peak climbing will be involved walking roped together, including the glacial crossings. You should be very fit and have good experience of peak climbing. The North-East ridge is considered the normal route to climb this Chulu East peak from a base camp on the moraine at 5334m (17500ft). Most climbers make it to the top and back from the Base Camp in one long day although some have, in the past, established a higher camp somewhere below the Chulu East peak. Another subsidiary peak called Chulu Far East (6059m) 19880ft may also be attempted from this approach.
