Chulu Far East

Chulu Far East, 6059 m, is considered the most straightforward of the three Chulu Peaks, however the typical Chulu Far East Peak expedition includes the popular Thorang La pass to add to the overall adventure.

Chulu Far East Peak at 6059 meters is the easiest of the three Chulu peaks, though by no means easy. A grueling climb to the summit can be reached from base camp, or a high camp can be used. There is a steep walk in snow up to the col at 5500 m. Climbing Sherpas will fix ropes for the steeper sections.There is a small serac just below the summit ridge.The summit is fairly exposed. The summit view is similar to Chulu East Peak.

The Chulu Far East Expedition follows the route of the Annapurna Circuit Trek and begins in the fertile low lands of Marshyandi Valley, at Besisahar and climbs along the river to reach the remote village of Chame. After ascending Chulu Far East, we descend to Manang, and continue the Annapurna Circuit trail leading to Yak Kharka, Leather, Phedi and High camp before crossing the Thorang La Pass 5416 m.

We then start descending toward Jomsom via Muktinath, Kagbeni. We fly to Pokhara from Jomsom, a thirty-five minute flight, and spend the rest of the day soaking up the luxuries of Lakeside
