Trip Overview

Chulu East Peak Climbing

Do you want to build on your basic skills in the alpine? Then, try out our Chulu East peak (6,584 m) climbing, plus the stunning Annapurna circuit trekking expedition.

Chulu East Peak might not be the most sought-after destination for trekking in Nepal, but it is equally good as any conventional trek. It is definitely exciting and wild as it unfolds itself in front of you into brilliant white mountains, a moist sub-tropical forest, and a traditional footpath.

Although the tracks are a little old, they are strong enough to accommodate anyone passing through. You would be thankful for the escapism one achieves from walking through the peaceful woods. In the meantime, there are weird plants and wild animals that will never make you bored during a walk.

Classic Chulu East peak climbing begins the Annapurna circuit trekking trail starting from Besisahar and following Marsyangdi valley through magnificent landscapes and cultures. We go through the rhododendron and pine forests and enter their upper valley, where the Manangba people inhabit. From Dharapani and Chame, we deviate in the direction of the Annapurna Circuit trail at Pisang. We climb from Pisang village to Julu village and spent a day acclimatizing here.

A trek from Julu village takes us into non-inhabited areas and passes over the ridge through pine woods, yak grazing grounds, and Mani walls towards Chulu East base camp. Chulu East Base Camp is located in the moraines below the col., between the ridge separating the Chulu East and Chulu Far East peaks. The following day, we trek up to Chulu East Peak High Camp.

We struggle across the rough, steep moraine and soft snow from High Camp towards a large ice-covered ridge. You will have a treacherous climb to cross the broken portion of the glacier and then climb a steep slope of scree to reach a comparatively simple summit. The next day, we climb to the Peak summit and enjoy a panoramic 360-degree view of the Himalayas before returning to the Base Camp.

Walking out of Chulu East camp, we gradually move down towards Manang Valley. Furthermore, we get to see the fascinating Braga monastery on the high hill slopes. We will then trek on a wider course of juniper forests over the next two days, where we might see blue sheep and deer. Also, some Annapurna Massif will be on our sight southwards. The last two hours of the journey is a zigging steep, stony path up to Thorong La pass. Spend that afternoon hiking down Mukhinath Gorge and Kali Gandaki River Valley (3850m). Then, we will return to Pokhara by air and journey to Kathmandu, where our journey officially ends.

This is an amazing Himalayan trekking and climbing experience involving peaks, the East and West Chulu, and an Annapurna Circuit in the Western Nepalese Annapurna area. You will be guided by professional, English-speaking guides. Let us at Eco Holidays help you create a story of a lifetime that will appear in your diary book and make you remember this experience forever.

This will help our body adjust to the weather changes and avoid the impacts of high altitude. Therefore, we will walk leisurely through the riverbeds between the forested mountains and the green valleys immediately after breakfast. The walk is stunning, with mountains, landscapes, and wildlife.

Thus, after being thoroughly acclimatized and refreshed, we must go to the trail.

Once we leave the village, we ascend uphill on the path that takes us to Chulu Far East Base Camp. As one walks along these rocky landforms, the trail starts to slide, which makes walking very hard. Hence, we shall slow hiking speed and lean against the backrest so as not to exhaust. We will follow these trails for around 3 hours until we reach Chulu East Base Camp. For the evening, we will pitch camp at the Base Camp.

This hike starts at a cold and high altitude in the early morning. The pass itself is a beauty, and its view is spectacular. To the right is once again the opening of the Annapurnas, and beyond the left is the Himalayas.

Through the pass, we finally arrive at Muktinath, which is a sacred place for Hindus and Buddhists. The Buddhists in Tibet call this “Chumig Gyatsa” - Hundred waters.

It is also known as the “city of temples” and home to the 108 stone fountains supplying water from the Gandaki Kali River.

Essential Information

Spring Season:

Different areas of this region still sometimes have cold early springs accompanied by snow. In early April, its temperature increases to about 8°C by the end of its season. Therefore, many trekkers start their trips during spring instead of waiting for summer heat to take over.

At high altitudes, the temperature is usually low; thus, you should be ready to dress warm. Though spring has some occasional rains, the trails become muddy, hence the need for good gear and equipment while on the trail. Autumn is also a good season after spring for climbing on Chulu East Peak.

Autumn Season:

Autumn is another good time to consider Chulu East peak climbing after spring. It comes up with a vibrant weather, clear sky and remains a bit humid with sunny and warm days and chilly nights.

Towards the beginning, the season starts with much warmth and sunshine, but later on, towards the close, the temperature reduces up to a negative 10 degrees Celsius. It has September temperatures as high as 8°C, which then falls drastically over October and November. This time of the year has dependable good weather, drawing the largest crowds.

Nevertheless, fall is a perfect time for trekking Chulu Peak due to its amazing views. The surrounding forests fully see yellow, orange, and red autumn foliage. The clear blue skyline and its warm rays allow one to glimpse the Annapurna massif and its surrounding peaks.

Winter Season

The extreme weather makes the trek twice as hard during winter season. This is a very cold location with regular snow storms and blizzards. Temperatures reduce to about -10 degrees Celsius or less, making it very cold in the mountains.

Summer Season/ Monsson

Heavy rains and winds mark mid-July (summer season) in Chulu. Trekking is almost impossible due to wet and muddy trials. The path is also likely to be blocked by landslides and floods; hence, it is important to exercise caution when approaching the peak in the rainy season.

Chulu East Peak Climbing Difficulties

Chulu East Peak is possibly among the least strenuous mountains in this world. It has moderate walking trails and is accessible, making it the beginners’ peak. Despite this, many people don’t find it easy to scale Chulu East as it has variation on difficulty levels.

At lower elevations, a trail seems to be simply done with well-tracked and short routes. This, however, the same saying does not apply at higher elevations. It is much tougher in the mountain than in the base. You can hardly find a better trail with steep ridges, glaciers, and ice slopes.

The weather will be so unpredictable that you have to be prepared for everything from hot sunshine to strong winds and heavy snow. In winter, climbing a mountain without following the weather may be a terrible thing to do.

You might meet snowstorms or blizzards on the way, which stop the journey. Trekking on trails covered in deep snow is risky because it is slippery, and one must only venture into such areas when prepared with a crampon, which offers traction and makes climbing easier.

Mountaineers must gain stamina for hiking to Chulu East peak climbing because it goes up in height. It is mostly made up of high hills covered with side cliffs and rugged terrain that goes for miles without stopping.

These trails will leave you drained after the base camp. The trail may be slightly sloppy, and you will feel strained ascending to the summit. Moreover, Climbers may also suffer from altitude sickness owing to the falling atmospheric pressure. These symptoms are very common and include headaches, dizziness, and a feeling of suffocation. Therefore, allow your body to acclimate before suffering from Altitude sickness.

Chulu Peak Climbing: What To Expect?

Chulu East Peak is among the few of its kinds that offer a lot of surprises. This place is so beautiful that you may stay for your whole life without getting tired of its magnificence. There are several beautiful destination spots to visit in it. Each trail is awe-inspiring, with views of great peaks, including Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, and Annapurna.

On this trip, you can view different types of animals, including rare ones like the red panda, plumaged pheasant, and musk deer. Your trail will wind through numerous villages within the region, enabling a swift glimpse into local cultures and customs.

Similarly, a pathway connects Chulu East and Throng La Pass, one of the busiest treks in the Annapurna Region. It is one of the highest mountain passes at 5,416 meters, providing the beautiful scenery of snow-covered mountains and hills.

Besides views, trekking up Chulu East Peak is also an opportunity to glimpse into a day in the life of the Himalayas. Wherever you go to stay, you will never be let down. In Fact, you will be amazed by the warm host treatment of the locals.

    Chulu East Peak Climbing – Professional and Reliable Operator

    Eco Holidays Nepal is a truly professional operator. Communication during the booking process was smooth and efficient Mr. Dhruba kept me well-informed through WhatsApp every step of the way.

    The guide and porter were excellent experienced, friendly, and highly supportive throughout the climb. Most of the lodges were very good, with only one being below expectations, but overall accommodations were comfortable.

    Their flexible approach made the journey smooth, and we successfully reached the summit of Chulu East. I would definitely use Eco Holidays Nepal again for future climbs.

    Highly recommended!

    Chulu East Peak Climbing – Best Climbing Experience!

    I climbed Chulu East Peak with my friends, and it was undoubtedly one of the best mountaineering experiences we’ve ever had. Eco Holidays Nepal delivered outstanding support at every turn. When one of my friends was short on proper jackets, the team immediately arranged everything he needed—making sure we were all prepared and comfortable.

    Their responsiveness, friendliness, and attention to detail made the whole journey seamless and enjoyable. I’m deeply grateful to the Eco Holidays Nepal team for their incredible support and professionalism.

    I’ll definitely be back!

    I recently climbed Chulu East Peak with Eco Holidays Nepal, and it truly stands out as one of the most rewarding adventures I’ve ever had. From the very beginning, their professionalism shone through booking, planning, and communications were seamless and handled with care.

    During the climb, the support team guides and porters alike was exceptional. They were highly knowledgeable, supportive, and attentive. Their dedication ensured every step of the journey was both safe and enjoyable.

    Thanks to their meticulous planning, everything was arranged perfectly. The logistics, accommodations, and acclimatization schedule all contributed to a smooth ascent and successful summit.

    I highly recommend Eco Holidays Nepal to anyone looking for a well-supported and unforgettable Himalayan climb. These experiences make every moment even the challenging ones something to cherish.
