Chulu East is situated high above the Manang valley and the route to Chulu east is combined with classic Annapurna Circuit Trek. The approach to Base camp is from the village of Manang. Chulu East peak is one of the most gorgeous peak, which are quite rightly included in the larger Damodar Himal. It is bounded by Hunglung Khola, Nar Khola and Phu Khola in north to South and to the south beautiful Marshyangdi Khola and Mesokanta La. In the west is the Kali Gandaki and to the north Parchkya La (5,447 m.).
Chulu east requires prior alpine experience with crossings of fractured glacial terrain and steep scree slopes to gain the main high summit ridge. The breathtaking views across to the Annapurnas 2, 3, 4, Gangapurna, Glacier Dome, Dhaulagiri, Tilicho Peak and Manaslu will boost our enthusiasm to be on the summit to view mountains from high elevation.
Guide Jamie McGuiness states “Should be the’Island Peak’ of the Annapurnas, which he tries to indicates to the “Chulu Far East” -(6,060 m.), a second Peak on the Chulu East permit. Both Peak shares the same base camp and the it happened many time that group climb Chulu Far East instead of Chulu East.Chulu east climbing is usually summit through northeast point, in terms of grading it is graded V, The trekking along the way to Chulu peak is adventurous and easy, but the peak climbing is tougher. We set our high camp at an altitude of 5334 m. beside Chagaji Khola valley. Our walk to Chulu East will also let us experience the mesmerizing views on surrounding peaks, friendly people and the unique culture of Manang valley.
