Chulu East / Far East Climbing

Chulu far east (6059 meters), Chulu East(6500meters) , Chulu Central (6500 meters) and Chulu West (6400meters) are four attractive peaks in Manang of famous Annapurna Circuit Trek. Even though all Chulu peaks are in similar altitude range, Chulu Far East is considered to be easier and suitable for novice to beginner climbing enthusiasts. Chulu East in the other hand comes as another easier climb that shares the base camp with Chulu Far East. Other two, Chulu West and Chulu Central are for more experienced climbers. The approach route to Chulu Far East and East follows well known Annapurna circuit trail up to Braga village (if your trek is from Muktinath) or from Ngawal (in the itinerary given below) near Manang. Either from Braga or Ngawal, trail heads towards base camp leaving permanent human settlement down in the valley. Base camp of Chulu east and far east is same. Advance camps are separate for each peak. It’s only of one day climbing that start from advance base camp to summit and back. After completing the climbing, return to Ngawal to catch the jeep back to Kathmandu or Pokhara or can stay for Annapurna Circuit trek.
