If you are thriving for a short alpine trip that requires less technical skills, we would like to welcome you to the Chulu East Peak Climbing adventure. The Chulu East is one of the popular trekking trails in the Annapurna region besides the world-famous Annapurna Circuit, Annapurna Base Camp, or Manaslu circuit.
Chulu East Peak (6,584 meters) climb offers an iconic sight of the bold Mt. Annapurna (8,091m), Mt. Dhaulagiri (8167 m), and the snow-capped panorama of the Annapurna Range. This journey will take you through the diverse cultures and ethnicity of Nepal. Besides the unique demography, you will also get to experience varied ecosystems and ever-changing landscapes.
Although Chulu East is marked as a less technical peak, it can be particularly difficult for the new climbers. Hence, we recommend you get a hold on to your climbing gear such as climbing ropes, ice axes, crampons, and tying knots.
The climbing expedition to the Chulu East Peak starts at Besi Sahar. You will follow the most common trekking route that leads to many other destinations in the famous Annapurna circuit. The trail follows the Marsyangdi River valley and passes through a variety of landscapes and unique Gurung cultures. Moving along the rhododendron and pine forests, you will reach the upper valley.
Continuing up to Pisang, you will part your way off the Annapurna circuit, pass through an uninhabited region, and finally to Yak Kharka. After a few days of acclimatization, the path will continue to the Chulu East Base Camp. Another day of the climb, and you will find yourself at the height of 6,584 meters, enjoying the serene beauty of the Himalayas.
After a successful climb, the trail descends to Thorong La Pass at 5416 meters. Follow down to the spectacular pilgrimage site – Muktinath. Finally, trekking to Kagbeni and then to Jomsom, you catch a flight Pokhara.
The Best Season for Chulu East Peak Climbing is during spring (March to May), Autumn (September to November). During these periods, the weather remains clear, and the possible threats of high altitudes are reduced. Moreover, the days are longer, so that you get ample time to complete the climb of the day.

You will get the best view of the mountain ranges, and the sky remains clear most of the time during these two seasons.

Yes. At Nepal Social Treks & Expedition, we ensure all our guides and members.
The trail passes through some of the remote areas. There are not many hotels and lodges up there. Thus, we will pack tents and mattresses for well-organized rest.
When traveling to a mountainous region, the weather is unpredictable. There is a risk of natural disasters as well, the common one being the avalanche. Moreover, being at high altitudes may induce altitude sickness among travelers. At Nepal Social Treks, we have a tactical plan and schedule for Chulu East Peak climb. However, we are very much flexible with the itinerary we have developed to suit your needs and preferences.
We prioritize your health and well-being as our main concern. Our guides are experts with long experience in mountaineering. They have excellent leadership quality with sound knowledge of preventing and treating altitude sickness. In case of emergency, we can arrange emergency evacuation as well.
While we strictly follow the agreed-upon package, given the weather and health conditions, we can lengthen the schedule if needed.

You can also add some extras such as a walking stick, pocket knife, and raincoat for extra safety.
Chulu East Peak is a less technical climb. However, it demands a good level of fitness in some parts of the trail. It is recommended that you have prior experience of trekking. This climb includes 5 to 7 hours of walk each day on a rugged and undulating trail. The trail keeps on elevating each day. You need to be in a good physical and mental state to overcome the challenges of the mountain.
You don’t need to worry. We will guide you thoroughly on the types of physical exercises and techniques you need to learn.
We are cautious about your health. We don’t want our customers to suffer from any water-related diseases at such an altitude. That is why we provide only safe water throughout the climbing adventure. However, you need to purchase bottled water. You can get them from the hotels and lodges where you will stay. Moreover, it would be best if you can manage the water purifier with you.
