Chulu East Peak Climbing 6584m is the famous peak in Annapurna Himalaya. Chulu peak offers mesmerizing views of the Annapurna massif 8091m, Manaslu (8163m), Dhaulagiri (8167m), Tilicho (7134m) & many other peaks of the range.  Chulu east climb is quite technical in nature & thus requires trekkers with previous experience to take on this challenge.

The diversity of Annapurna region is so rich that it makes a truly wonderful trekking experience in the common route of the famous annapurna circuit trekking trail, Narphu trail & Tilicho lake trek route.

Trekking route towards the Chulu east Basecamp

As we begin our journey in Jagat, we will be able to see the green lush beauty of the region. We will also be walking on rocky and snowy grounds crossing some picturesque Buddhist villages of the Manages, Thakali, and Gurung. This region also has a truly spectacular diversity of flora and fauna with the deep valleys creating a brilliant space for the wildlife to flourish.

Peak climbing takes you to Annapurna circuit  a famous trekking trail of Nepal

Annapurna conservation is famous for being a home to many rare animals such as the Himalayan sheep, red panda, and the elusive snow leopard.

We will get an insight into the beauty of Manang. The Tibetan-Buddhist culture and religious practices offer the unique and exquisite taste of the predominant faith of the region. This trek will give you a sense of walking into villages that have been forgotten and will feel like you are taking a trip back in time, even today.

Nevertheless, the view atop the peak is absolutely admiring and dulls the senses as long as we keep beholding the views of the surrounding.  The Chulu East Peak is surrounded by some truly magical mountains and instigates a feeling of awe while making this trip into the depth of Annapurna himalaya.
