Chulu Far East Peak Climbing Highlights,
Chulu Far East Peak Climbing is a Popular trekking peak It lies in the northern part of the Annapurna region, and the trek follows much of the same route as the Annapurna Circuit.
A major drawcard is the variety of terrain and cultures that are encountered along the way. The expedition isn’t just about the ascent of Chulu Far East, but the side-trip to gorgeous Tilicho Lake, the crossing of the rarely travelled Mesokanta La Pass (5120m) and the Tibetan Buddhist Gurung culture of Manang and Mustang.
The peak itself is challenging, as all peaks are, yet suitable for novice climbers. There are some tricky crevasses, but the climbing is not too technical. From the summit you will see Annapurna I, II, III and IV, Gangapurna, Dhaulagiri and Manaslu.
The Route Followed
This expedition begins with a full day’s drive from Kathmandu to the trailhead at Chame, headquarters of Manang District. Begin along a forested trail, with Annapurna and Dhaulagiri peeping through from time to time.
After three days’ trekking, stop for an acclimatization day at JuluKhola (3500m). Go on short hikes to higher altitude. Then, continue on a steep trail up to Chulu Far East Peak Base Camp (5000m) for a training and acclimatization day. Spend some time training, refreshing (or learning) essential mountaineering skills, and hiking to a nearby glacier to practice those skills.
From Base Camp, head up to High Camp (5500m). The path is through snow, and this night will be spent camping on rocky ground. The next day, rise in the early hours to summit Chulu Far East. After enjoying the incredible views in all directions, descend first to High Camp, and then all the way back to Base Camp.
The beauty of the expedition doesn’t end once the peak has been summitted. The return trip follows a different route. First, stop by Manang village, from which you will make a three-day side-trip to glacier-fed Tilicho Lake (4919m). It’s one of the highest lakes in the world, and is often frozen. The spectacular deep blue-turquoise water is surrounded by barren and snowy peaks.
Cross Mesokanta La (5120m) and trek down into Lower Mustang and Jomsom, headquarters of Mustang. Return to Pokhara by air.
