Trip Introduction

The Chulu Far East peak (6,059m) first climbed in 1955 by a German expedition lies to the north of the main Annapurna Himal. This relatively moderate peak climbing adventure passing through the tranquil landscapes, lush vegetations, and traditional cultural heritages dominated by Gurung people in the Annapurna region brings you to the apex of Chulu Far East peak. In its course, the expedition sets its base camp and then passes on to high camp to conquer the zenith of the peak. The top of the peak rewards the unrivaled views of Annapurna II, III, IV, Gangapurna, Manaslu, Pisang Peak, and Chulu West Peak. Once covering the signature destinations, the adventure trip crosses Thorang_ La Pass to bring you at Jomsom and then to Kathmandu via Pokhara.
