Chulu Far East Peak

Overview

Chulu Far East Peak (6059m) is one of the obvious straightforward of the three Chulu peaks, in the Annapurna region of Nepal.The Chulu Far East Expedition follows the route of the Annapurna cicuit trekking. The trip begins in the fertile low lands of Marshyandi Valley, at Besisahar and climbs along the river to reach the remote village of Chame. A grueling climb to the summit can be reached from Base camp, or a High Camp can be used (for maximizing the chances of summit success). There is a steep walk in snow up to the col at 5500 meters.

The summit view is similar to Chulu East Peak from where we witness the spectacular views of Annapaurna massifs (II, III and IV), Gangapurna, Glacier Dome, Dhaulagiri, Tilicho Peak and other snowy giants surrounding us. After ascending Chulu Far East, we descend down to Manang and from Manang, the trail rejoins the classic Annapurna Circuit trail leading to Yak Kharka, Letdar, Phedi and High camp before crossing the Thorang La Pass (5416m).

The final part of trip, descending toward Jomsom via Muktinath and Kagbeni. We take a morning flight from Jomsom and fly to Pokhara from Jomsom (a thirty-five minute flight) and to Kathmandu.
