Overview of Chulu East Peak Climbing

Chulu East Peak is an ideal peak for those climbers who want to expand their climbing skills beyond other trekking peaks, including the Everest region. Chulu East Peak is one of the highest trekking peaks in the Manag Himal under the remote rains of the shadowy areas of the sprawling Annapurna Himalayas, which lies southeast of Chulu West and Manang. The German expedition made its first ascent in history through the northeast ridge, the summit of Chulu East, in 1955, along with Chulu West, an integral part of the Manang Himal, which in turn belongs to the largest Damodar Himal.   

 The Chulu East Peak is a real technical expedition trekking summit in Nepal. A climbing period of 4 to 6 days from the base camp is required. There are many cracks between Chulu Far East and the east. It would be best if you had a lot of tight rope to the north ridge. You start your journey by car to Besishar, a traditional Annapurna trekking route, or fly to Hundy Airport and follow the Marsyandgi Khola through various landscapes and cultural villages from the subtropical country of the Gurung to the high Tibetan region of the Manang. Then the river of the Chhetaji Khola path Yak Kharka reaches 4000 m, the base camp Chulu east is very steep above the waterfall. You will have lunch at the Chulu East base camp, and you can climb the small mountain in its excellent condition and back to the camp. The base camp to the high camp also rises abruptly and reaches the rocky platform, and there is a small lake and near the lake is the high camp (5300 m) for two and a half hours. The next day it will be weak for the summit in the early morning. First, it's the difficult road and the steep and icy path, the best way to fasten the rope, that when it reaches the cold southwest and the right ridge leads to Chulu Far East. The east continues through a deep snow gap, and then you can build a camp (I) on the 5,500 m list.

Camp (II) tilts the crest, and you flow the north ridge from peak to peak. From the submit, you will have a beautiful view of South Annapurna and north of the mountains that define the edge of the vast Tibetan plateau. You can take pleasure in a spectacular view of Mount Annapurna II, III, IV, Mount Manaslu, Pisang Peak, Chulu, and the north side of the Himlung valley. The Chulu East Peak Expedition combines the best elements of a Himalayan expedition. The climbing tour to Chulu East Peak is strenuous and requires every participant to know alpine snow climbing skills well. It is a great way to explore Nepal's culture and climb two Himalayas' peaks most safely. After having a lot of experience in the Himalayas of Climbing Chulu East Peak, finish the trip early in the morning and at the end of the trip

Essential Information

Travel insurance:

Travel insurance for each itinerary of our company is a prerequisite for booking vacations. At a minimum, you must have emergency and repatriation insurance that must include the mountain rescue cost. Carefully review the terms and conditions of your insurers. In particular, you should ensure that the following are covered: 1) Activity (i.e., tourism, trekking or mountaineering) 2) Maximum altitude reached during trekking 3) Evacuation of the helicopter in an emergency. It would be best to understand that you will bear the cost of the evacuation and return procedures. It is your responsibility to take all costs associated with removal or medical treatment. You must be fully aware of travel insurance's effects and understand your policy's limitations and exclusions. Please note that in certain circumstances, our company guide can initiate helicopter rescue operations (or other necessary operations) in medical emergencies without first seeking approval from your insurance company.

Trekking and climbing guide and other staff arrangements

Experienced and professional mountaineers and guides lead your expeditions. You have climbed the mountain several times, with other crew members' support and logistics for the trip. Not only in terms of qualifications, but we also make sure that our managers can demonstrate proven success when climbing mountains at high altitudes. The number of guides depends on the team's size to maximize each climber's chances of reaching the top without compromising safety. Our expedition leaders are also experienced in treating altitude problems, including acute mountain sickness (AMS). Crew members are adept at building tents and campgrounds, trail snowmelt, cooking, and other daily necessities.

Physical condition and experience requirements

The Chulu East peak is rated 2D in difficulty. It means that the technical challenge dose does not include very steep ice and climbing. Climbers should feel safe and comfortable when ascending or descending fixed ropes along the steep technical terrain. We also recommend that climbers already have experience in ice and ice climbing, significantly over 6,000 m. You require a high level of physical and mental fitness. Since the climbing experience will be exhausting, climbers with previous experience must be in good physical shape.

Acclimatization

The route of the Chulu East is planned with a high level of knowledge of AMS. Climbing too high up too quickly leads to an illness that is serious enough to cause death. As much higher altitude, the oxygen levels less in the air. For example, at more than 5000 m altitudes, there is 50% less oxygen than at sea level. Therefore, your body needs more days to adapt to size with less oxygen. During this trip, we have separate reserve days for acclimatization only. Besides, the gradual walk will get used to the height better. There is also a different day reserved as an emergency if things do not go as planned.

Guests with known heart, lung, or blood disorders are advised to consult their doctor before traveling. Mild headaches, fever, loss of appetite, or stomach upset are symptoms of AMS. The company's travel routes were created with the most excellent care for AMS. However, please know that some people are more vulnerable than others.

Trekking day

Since you are in a remote rural area, you will experience the early bedtime and early morning hours. A typical day of trekking begins around 6 or 7 a.m. enjoy a hearty breakfast and get started. Take your bag with the personal items you need for the day. Walk at your own pace, enjoy the scenery, chat with the locals, and take pictures. The lunch break depends on the terrain and is prepared by our catering team. Usually stops after about 3 hours of walking for lunch. The lunchtime also helps with acclimatization. The goal would be to get to the next stop at sunset. After reaching the overnight point, the crew members arrange the tents. You can relax with a cup of tea or coffee or take a nice walk in the camp. Dinner would be ready around 7 p.m. Enjoy dinner and share the day's experiences with the team members.

FAQs

The climb to Chulu East is technically difficult for new climbers. A climb to peaks like Chulu West and Chulu East with trekking the Annapurna Circuit in the Annapurna area is one of the most spectacular trekking and climbing areas in the Himalayas.
