Chulu West Peak standing at 6,419 m 21,054 Ft high above beautiful and scenic Manang valley leads you to a fascinating adventure. Lying to the North of the Annapurna Range close to the famous Annapurna trekking trail Chulu West Peak Climbing which is a group of Chulu’s (Chulu East, Chulu Mid, Chulu Far East and Chulu West); is one of the popular peak climbing in Annapurna region. The appropriate location makes this a great trip for trekkers, who want to add a challenge to their trip. While climbing the peak, you will be able to get the spectacular views of Annapurna II, III and IV, Nilgiri, Gangapurna, Glacier Dome, Dhaulagiri, Tilicho Peak, and Manaslu.
The Chulu West leads you into a beautiful cool alpine forest of pines and rhododendron; it soon vanishes as your route leads into the wide open valley of Manang; with incredible views of Damodar Himal including Pisang whole of Chulu peaks and Annapurna northern peaks. However, climbing the Chulu West Peak isn’t something to be taken lightly; you have to walk 8 to 9 hours a day at high altitude. Thus, it requires good physical condition and a high degree of stamina.
Technical difficulties are minimal on Chulu West climbing but adverse snow conditions can make the ascent more demanding. Especially in tricky weather conditions, the identification of the summit may be difficult; sometimes the climber might end up on a different summit than intended. But don’t worry Great Panorama Treks provide an experienced Sherpa guide to accompany the climber to the top. You may need some basic knowledge in the use of crampons and ice axes which we will teach you before climbing the peak.
The trek begins from a drive to Khudi. The routes lead to the Manang Valley, one of the highest valleys of the world. Furthermore the adventure continues towards the west and then leaves the main trail of Annapurna circuit for few days for the classic and technical climb of Chulu West Peak. We will be camping for a few nights with excellent camping services.
After achieving our highlight and goal of the adventure reaching the summit of Chulu West our journey leads back via Thorong-La Pass and holy areas of Muktinath to Jomsom. From Jomsom, a sweeping short scenic flight takes you to a popular and picturesque touristic destination at Pokhara.
