Chulu East Peak Climbing

Once you arrive in Kathmandu, our team staff will catch you there. They will introduce themselves and transfer you to a hotel, where you can refresh yourself. After a short nap in the evening, we can walk on the street to see the beauty of the night in Kathmandu. 

Our team members thoroughly guided your sightseeing. During the day trip, you can visit several historical places in Kathmandu. First, you can visit the Pashupatinath temple, where you see Hindu rituals and Boudhanath Stupa, the sacred pilgrimage of Buddhism. Basantapur Durbar square covers the ancient history of the King. Due to the time factor, if possible, you will visit different places, and at night you will return to your hotel.

After spending two days in Kathmandu, we will drive you to Chame. 7-8 hrs of drive take you to Chame through Prithvi Highway. After crossing Kathmandu, You can enjoy a greener environment throughout the Trisuli river. From Mugling Marsyangdi river, we cross many villages before arriving at Chame.

After breakfast at Chame the following day, your trek begins by viewing the magnificent view of Mt. Annapurna. Your walking routes consist of pine forests with a slope down to River. The walk up to Pisang is quite happening as it follows the Annapurna Circuit trek.

We’ll leave Pisang after breakfast and proceed to Humde Village. Walking the trail with magnificent mountain views, rising hills, and a monastery is much more enjoyable. This hike is a bit easier than last time, as there are fewer climbs and the dusty roads pass through well-placed rock walls.

Humde, well known for its airport, is a lovely town in Manang’s east. The airfield is around 2.5 kilometers from Manang‘s center of attraction. The entire village of Humde is crammed with spectacular vistas of mountains and landscapes. 

After a night at Humde village, another trek begins. The hike continued until we could not find Yak Kharka. with stunning views from here, such as snow-capped peaks, dramatic high cliffs, and a monolith that attracted your eyes. There is a Pine forest with Himalayan scenery until reaching Jhulu Khola. 

As Julu Khola lies at an altitude of around 4640 masl, you need to Acclimate yourself for the further hike. After breakfast, you can explore a nearby village by stepping slowly. 

Beautiful panoramic landscapes, clear mountain views, and village culture make your short hike worthwhile. One day of Chulu Peak climbing rest at Julu Khola helps you cope with high altitude sickness as you go further

We’ll be heading to the path now after making the acclimatization day at Julu Khola and feeling rejuvenated. As we leave the settlement, we’ll take the route that rises uphill to meet Chulu East Base Camp. This section is more accessible than Island Peak climbing.

The trail to Chulu east becomes arduous as it passes over rocky sedimentary sequences. To get to Chulu Far East Base Camp, we’ll have to scramble the trail for another 6 hours, where we camped overnight.

The hilly trails and icy terrain make walking from the Chul East Base Camp difficult and tiring. Walking too fast can cause physical pain and difficulty breathing. As a result, we rest for the day and allow the body to adapt to lower oxygen levels in the air. 

 Instead of just hanging out and killing time, go around the base camp and visit a quieter place. To adapt, take a walk in many areas with steep uphill slopes and spectacular views of the mountains. We return to the camp and sleep soundly when the sun goes down.

We may now hike up the sloping trail to Chulu East High Camp, located at the height of 5600 masl. You can see Pisang Peak, Annapurna Mountains, and Chul West on the way. Spending time in high camps is just as enjoyable, with stunning views of the surrounding countryside and the colourful valleys beneath

As the path for the Chulu Nepal climb progresses, it passes through snowy hills that can only be negotiated with safety gear. The trail continues uphill, which is gruelling and takes a long time, around 8-10 hours. Our team will set up tents and make suitable arrangements for climbing Chul East Peak. 

It’s the day that will determine whether our days of struggle and workforce on the trail were worthwhile or not. So, with a backpack full of gear, we’ll walk steadily to the path that passes among icebergs and snowfields.

You will finally reach the summit after trekking through the towering cliffs, icy slopes, and open canyons for about 11 hours. 

From the top, you can enjoy the breathtaking views of Annapurna II, the Glacier Dome, and Dhaulagiri in space. After visiting the hidden glaciers and mountains, we take a step back and take the same route back to the base camp.

It’s time to get back on the trail after that beautiful adventure to the peak of Chulu East Peak. After stepping down to base camp, as soon as possible, we head for Manang, a significant destination for the Annapurna Circuit trek.

The calm trail leads to wonderful Khangsar with beautiful vistas. We’ll have simple access to Khangsar village by crossing the Khangsar Khola bridge. We’ll continue on an uphill hike that provides a stunning perspective of Chulu East and its surrounding mountains. After more than 8 hours of trekking north of the base camp, you will arrive at Khangsar village. 

Trekking takes more than 7 hours so it will be tiring on your way to Siri Kharka. The road is long and uphill and requires a lot of physical strength. 

After crossing Khangsar Khola, drive towards Shree Kharka village. Once in the town, you can go sightseeing, see the blue sheep and interact with the locals.

After 7-8 hours of trekking from Siri Kharka, you will arrive at Tilicho Base Camp. Hiking to the Tilicho base camp is more accessible than trekking to Siri Kharka. We’ll then descend the slope on a narrow track that passes through landslide-prone sections.

Passing subglacial lakes and glaciers makes the trek difficult on your way to Lake Tilicho. It’s fun to see, but walking the trails is difficult and unpleasant. There is a chance to find wild creatures and birds while traveling through the wild forest.

Early mornings are ideal for viewing Tilicho Lake’s pristine beauty, so get up an early hour to experience this core experience. We’ll eat breakfast shortly before our journey begins by crossing permafrost and frozen paths.

The lake’s beauty is unaffected by seasonal fluctuations. It is surrounded by lofty mountains that continuously provide the lake with fresh water. We’ll return to the route and walk gently after exploring the sequence of mountains and vibrantly blue water. 

After having a great time on Lake Tilicho, we head straight to the trail. Follow the snow-covered fluffy path and cross the Meso Cantara Pass at 5120 meters. The route requires a lot of hard climbing, so keep that in mind when walking the trails.

A wooden bridge will guide you through an unmarked route across the Thorung Khola River. We are spending the rest of our time exploring communities once we get to Yak Kharka after a 7-hour journey

After descending the trail from Yak Kharka, we’ll head north to Marpha. This charming community is known for its apple orchard. We’ll continue on an easy path into Jomsom, the administrative centre of Mustang District.

Historical museums, medieval monasteries, and manuscripts abound in this magnificent location. Glistening white mountains and landscapes makes the mesmerizing moment. Jomsom is located at an altitude of 2743 masl.

You can also walk towards Upper Mustang from here. 

After exploring the Jomsom, you can take a scenic flight to the Pokhara. The flight to Pokhara takes around 20 to 25 minutes, during which time we get to see a variety of mountains and waterfalls.

At Pokhara, you can visit Barahi Temple and other exciting places. I spent the evening watching the sunset and Machhapuchhare on Phewa Lake. Return to the hotel before dinner and have a good night’s rest.

The purpose of Reserve Day is to offer trekkers extra time in case they get altitude sickness. It’s utilized when hiking is hampered by inclement weather like thick snow, strong winds, or haze. Reserve Day also helps with Chulu East Peak Climbing adaptability and training.

Take a tourist bus from Pokhara to Kathmandu, which takes around seven hours, or fly for about 25 minutes and spend the night at a hotel. You can take a short evening night out in Kathmandu. 

Our team members will drop you off at the airport for your final flight. It’s time to bid farewell with the beautiful memories of the trip in our minds.
