Chulu Far East Peak Overview

The Chulu Far East Trek Peak  is one of the classic trekking peaks at approximately 6,000 meters within the Annapurna region of Nepal and is the perfect first step into high-altitude mountaineering for the avid trekker.

Chulu Far East towers over the Manang Valley, offering incredible trekking, glacial travel, and a non-technical summiting experience set within the majestic Annapurna Range and Dhaulagiri Range.

In order to get to Chulu Far East Peak t, you need to reroute along the famous Annapurna Circuit and pass through many traditional villages, lush alpine meadows, and stunning high Himalayan landscapes. As you trek up from Manang and begin to travel towards Chulu Far East Base Camp, you will enter increasingly remote and rugged alpine environments.

The final climb to reach the summit will likely involve trekking on snow slopes/glaciers and may require crampons, an ice axe, and basic rope skills. There are no sections of the ascent that are overly steep or highly technical.

The summit of Chulu Far East Peak (6,059 m) offers climbers extensive views of Annapurna II, Annapurna III, Gangapurna, Tilicho Peak, Pisang Peak, and the Chulu range, making it one of the best viewing points in the Annapurna area. Although the climb is challenging because of the elevation and temperature, it has no technical problems and can be done by fit trekkers with prior experience hiking in high elevations.

The best climbing seasons for Chulu Far East Peak are spring (April - May) and autumn (September - October), when the weather is generally stable, the visibility is good, and the snow is in good condition.

Chulu Far East Peak Itinerary

Drive to Besisahar from Kathmandu (around 6 hours), then by local transport to Dharapani, the Annapurna Circuit starting point of the trek. 

Leave Dharapani and walk through pine and fir forests, passing traditional villages and waterfalls.

Follow the Marsyangdi River along the left side with gradual ascents and descents. Additionally, with wonderful views of Annapurna II and Pisang Peak.

Follow the upper Pisang trail, which gives excellent opportunities for acclimatisation, as you trek through alpine landscapes and visit several monasteries before reaching Manang.

Take a rest day for your body to acclimatise. Due to the increasing elevation, you should plan short hikes around Manang (to Gangapurna Lake and/or Ice Lake) on this day.

Instead of following the main trail, you will begin trekking toward your base camp over a more remote area of the alpine terrain, surrounded by dramatic mountain scenery.

After your acclimatisation to the environment at base camp, you will begin to ascend gradually on the rocky and snowy terrain to the high camp in preparation for your summit push.

Early morning summit attempt with crampons and rope support, followed by a descent back to Base Camp.

You will descend back down safely to Manang and continue on to the Annapurna Circuit trail.

You will continue to trek through a high alpine pasture and enjoy panoramic views of the mountains.

Make your way gradually up towards Thorong La pass as you prepare for the journey ahead.

Cross the iconic Thorong La Pass and descend to the sacred village of Muktinath.

Trek or drive to Jomsom, following along the Kali Gandaki Valley.

Fly or drive back to Pokhara, experiencing breathtaking views of both the Annapurna Mountains and Dhaulagiri Mountains along the way.

Drive or fly back to Kathmandu, marking the end of the expedition successfully.
