Introduction To Chulu Peak Climbing  In Nepal

The Chulu West Peak is one of Nepal’s most popular and difficult hiking peaks, attracting hundreds of climbers each year during the climbing season.

It is located north of Manag village in the Annapurna area. The Chulu West Peak is a spectacular peak that rises to 6419 meters (21,055 feet) above sea level.

Being able to reach the summit of this mountain is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime achievement.

The Chulu West Peak has become one of Nepal’s most popular climbs in recent years, and it should be on the bucket lists of most people across the world.

This legendary summit in the Himalayas offers 360-degree vistas of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, and countless other Nepalese and Tibetan plateaus.

It is fairly suitable for both experienced and novice climbers who wish to conquer the mountain and themselves at least once in a lifetime.

Our Chulu west peak itinerary is non-technical climbs and anyone with reasonable fitness can be a part of this journey. There are no technical climbing skills required in reaching the summit of this peak.

During the spring season, the ideal months for peak climbing are March and May.

Overview

  • Among the Chulu summits, the Chulu west peak is another popular climb (Chulu east, Chulu far east, Chulu central). The 6419m/21059.71ft high Chulu west peak is located north of Manang, above the Ghyanchang Khola (river).
  • Although there isn’t much technical climbing at this peak, it does necessitate high physical condition and fitness to reach the summit. Before reaching the summit, this peak has a “base camp” (4800m) and a “high camp” (5550m).
  • The Chulu West Peak is considered by some to be one of the best peaks in the Annapurna range. We will have spectacular views of Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, Annapurna, and other Himalayan peaks while climbing the top. Climbing the Chulu West Peak, on the other hand, necessitates good physical fitness and stamina.

Itinerary

Arrive at Tribhuwan International Airport, Kathmandu, you are welcomed by the team and then you will be transferred to your hotel.

After breakfast at our hotel, we can go for a walk around the neighborhood and do some shopping in preparation for our adventure journey the next day. We will meet our hiking guide and other participants in the afternoon at the office for a pre-trip discussion and to meet our trekking guide. In addition, you will be briefed about the expedition's nature, equipment, and team composition. We'll return to our hotel later for a restful night's sleep. In Kathmandu, spend the night.

We'll have to get up early today because we'll be driving a considerable distance to our trek's starting location. After breakfast, we leave Kathmandu at about 7 a.m. and arrive in Syange or Jagat (depending on the situation) through Besishahar after an almost 8-hour trip. We witness more of Nepal's landscape along the way, which includes greenery, rivers, villages, farms, and breathtaking mountain scenery. However, the road quality is not uniformly good during our journey today. The road up to Besishahar is coal-tarred, whilst the road after Besishahar is dusty and coarse, yet we can easily overlook that as we gaze out the window at the breathtaking scenery. Stay at Syange or Jagat Guesthouse for the night.

We begin our journey today in a relaxed manner after breakfast. After crossing a major bridge near Tal, we arrive in the Manang district. The road continues through fields of barley, rice, and potatoes, as well as pine woodlands. We will arrive in Dharapani, one of the larger settlements in the Manang valley, after passing via the village of Kodo. Dharapani is where you will spend the night.

On our way west today, we'll have to navigate a couple of steep forested ridges as well as a few landslides. We pass through the most spectacular vistas of Lamjung Himal, Annapurna II, and Annapurna IV (7,525m/24,688ft) on our journey to Chame. On our long and difficult hike, small hot springs provide welcome relaxation. The administrative center of the Manang District is Chame.

The stunning curved rock wall, rising 1500m from the river, is reached through a steep and narrow path through a dense forest. We are surrounded by beautiful Himalayan Peaks as the trail opens up. We've arrived in Manang's U-shaped valley, which is sandwiched between two massive snow peaks. We arrive at Pisang after walking through these lovely sites. Lower Pisang is where you'll spend the night.

Today, we have a choice of two paths to go. The scenery will be spectacular if you choose the upper path (which the Himalayan Glacier suggests), which takes you through Upper Pisang via Geru. We have the impression of being horizontally in front of the gorgeous peaks. The panoramic views of Himalayan summits like Annapurna, Pisang Peak, and others will undoubtedly entice us. From today onwards, we observe a change in the scenery and plants. The harshness of the surroundings is exacerbated by the cold and dry climate. We take a wonderful visit to the Barge monastery, which is the largest in the Manang district. In Manang, spend the night.

Today is the first day of acclimatization. It is not advisable to remain inactive; instead, a brief walk to a higher altitude will help you acclimate to the altitude. Manang is an ideal site to accomplish so because the next two days will be a very difficult and exhausting journey for us due to the quick ascent in altitude. We should never take altitude for granted and should constantly exercise caution. From an acclimatization standpoint, Bhojo Gompa or Gangapurna Lake are worthwhile stops. We take a short trip to Vraga, a small historic village with a monastery, which is a short distance away. We also pay a quick visit to the Himalayan Rescue Association at this point, where we can learn more about Mountain Sickness. Manang is where we will spend the night.

We continue our journey from Manang through the alpine scenery with high-altitude plants and woods. We ascend gradually to Yak Kharka and subsequently to our current camp. The locals prefer to use our current camp spot as an alpine pasture.

We're continuing our trek from Leder to Chulu West Base Camp today. Views of the Annapurna Himalayas may be seen from the Base Camp. We might also be interested in exploring the surrounding places. We'll set up our camp for an overnight stay at this point.

We continue hiking towards Camp I from the Chulu Base Camp. The route isn't particularly difficult. However, it's important to keep in mind that we're climbing at a high altitude. We have amazing views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountains, including Manaslu, Gangapurna, and Lamjung Himal, from this point.

At Camp I, today will be a day of rest and acclimatization. While we recuperate in Camp I, the climbing leaders and other staff members travel to Camp II to replenish the camp's supplies. They eventually return to Camp I. We can take a break and, if interested, take a walk around Camp I.

Today, we depart from Camp I and begin our ascent of the rock band to Camp II. Although the route is not particularly difficult, we may need to utilize ropes, crampons, and an ice ax. At 5,530m/18,143ft, we set up Camp II. Some people go straight to the summit from Camp I. However, because the climb from Camp II to the summit is quite easy, we spend an overnight at Camp II to allow for sufficient rest and acclimatization.

Today is our summit day, and it will be a hard day. As a result, we'd get up considerably earlier today. We have to work hard every second on the icy high-altitude trail, but the breathtaking high Himalayan views tempt our eyes to look over the horizon rather than on our trail. We return to Camp I after summiting.

Our return road drops all the way to Leder from Camp I. We take in the panoramic vistas of the Annapurnas and other peaks as we descend. We spend the night in Leder to commemorate the ascent of Chulu West Peak.

There's no certainty that we'll have ideal weather on the day of the summit. So, if we are unable to summit the Chulu West Peak on the intended date owing to severe weather or other circumstances, this day will be used as a backup. Someone in the party may have difficulty acclimating well enough to complete the ascent. Since the day can also be employed in that situation. We won't need this extra day if the journey goes successfully.

We're cleaning up the base camp today and heading to Thorong Phedi. It'll primarily be a leisurely stroll downhill. We must remember, though, that we are still in a high-altitude environment.

Today, we begin by crossing the famed Thorong La mountain pass. To fulfill the mission, you must get up early. After crossing the pass, we arrive at Muktinath, an important Hindu, and Buddhist pilgrimage site. Muktinath is home to a Vishnu temple and a monastery, illustrating Nepal's religious harmony. The site is known as a "Muktikhsetra" by Hindus, which means "place of release or salvation." Water spouts have been channeled for the stream that runs above the temple. From Muktinath, we have a spectacular view of the Dhaulagiri summit. We take a local bus back to Jomsom from Muktinath.

After finishing our morning breakfast, we check in at the airport for our trip back to Pokhara, a 30-minute dramatic flight between the gorges of two massive mountains, Annapurna and Dhaulagiri. Our guide will meet us at the Pokhara airport and take us to our lakeside accommodation. We spend the remainder of the afternoon casually exploring the gorgeous Pokhara valley. We can't stop appreciating the state of Fish Tail Mountain reflected in the lake as we walk along the bank of Fewa Lake, Nepal's largest lake. We can also take a boat ride around Fewa Lake or stroll to the World Peace Pagoda for an hour. In the evening, we went for a walk around the lakeshore.

Today, after breakfast, we drive back to Kathmandu from Pokhara, a 200-kilometer journey. It is preferable to keep your hands on the vehicle's left window to take in the sights along the way. We will be escorted to our hotel upon arrival in Kathmandu. There's nothing to do besides exchange emails with fellow travelers and organize images. We can either spend the evening relaxing or catching up on some last-minute shopping. Finally, we share dinner with the trekking personnel.

Today is the last day of our Nepalese adventure! The representative drives us to the airport in time for our trip. A representative will escort us to the airport and say farewell approximately 3 hours before our scheduled flight. We'll have plenty of time on the way home to plan our future excursion in Nepal's gorgeous land.
