First, you can visit the Pashupatinath temple, where you see Hindu rituals and Boudhanath Stupa, the sacred pilgrimage of Buddhism. Basantapur Durbar square covers the ancient history of the King.

Day 04

Trek to Pisang

After breakfast at Chame the following day, your trek begins by viewing the magnificent view of Mt. Annapurna. Your walking routes consist of pine forests with a slope down to River. The walk up to Pisang is quite happening as it follows the Annapurna Circuit trek.

Day 05

Pisang to Humde village

We’ll leave Pisang after breakfast and proceed to Humde Village. Walking the trail with magnificent mountain views, rising hills, and a monastery is much more enjoyable. This hike is a bit easier than last time, as there are fewer climbs and the dusty roads pass through well-placed rock walls.

Humde, well known for its airport, is a lovely town in Manang’s east. The airfield is around 2.5 kilometers from Manang‘s center of attraction. The entire village of Humde is crammed with spectacular vistas of mountains and landscapes. Accommodation at the local lounge and local food makes your trek journey Meaningful. 

Day 06

Trek to julu khola

After a night at Humde village, another trek begins. The hike continued until we could not find Yak Kharka. with stunning views from here, such as snow-capped peaks, dramatic high cliffs, and a monolith that attracted your eyes. There is a Pine forest with Himalayan scenery until reaching Jhulu Khola. 

Day 07

Acclimatization at Jhulu Khola

As Julu Khola lies at an altitude of around 4640 masl, you need to Acclimate yourself for the further hike. After breakfast, you can explore a nearby village by stepping slowly. 

Beautiful panoramic landscapes, clear mountain views, and village culture make your short hike worthwhile. One day of Chulu Peak climbing rest at Julu Khola helps you cope with high altitude sickness as you go further

Day 08

Trek to Chulu East Base Camp

We’ll be heading to the path now after making the acclimatization day at Julu Khola and feeling rejuvenated. As we leave the settlement, we’ll take the route that rises uphill to meet Chulu East Base Camp. This section is more accessible than Island Peak climbing.

The trail to Chulu east becomes arduous as it passes over rocky sedimentary sequences. To get to Chulu Far East Base Camp, we’ll have to scramble the trail for another 6 hours, where we camped overnight.

Day 09

Acclitamize at Chulu East base camp

The hilly trails and icy terrain make walking from the Chul East Base Camp difficult and tiring. Walking too fast can cause physical pain and difficulty breathing. As a result, we rest for the day and allow the body to adapt to lower oxygen levels in the air. 

 Instead of just hanging out and killing time, go around the base camp and visit a quieter place. To adapt, take a walk in many areas with steep uphill slopes and spectacular views of the mountains. We return to the camp and sleep soundly when the sun goes down.

Day 10

Trek to Chulu East High camp

We may now hike up the sloping trail to Chulu East High Camp, located at the height of 5600 masl. You can see Pisang Peak, Annapurna Mountains, and Chul West on the way. Spending time in high camps is just as enjoyable, with stunning views of the surrounding countryside and the colourful valleys beneath

As the path for the Chulu Nepal climb progresses, it passes through snowy hills that can only be negotiated with safety gear. The trail continues uphill, which is gruelling and takes a long time, around 8-10 hours. Our team will set up tents and make suitable arrangements for climbing Chul East Peak. 

Day 11

Chulu East Peak Summit

It’s the day that will determine whether our days of struggle and workforce on the trail were worthwhile or not. So, with a backpack full of gear, we’ll walk steadily to the path that passes among icebergs and snowfields.

You will finally reach the summit after trekking through the towering cliffs, icy slopes, and open canyons for about 11 hours. 

From the top, you can enjoy the breathtaking views of Annapurna II, the Glacier Dome, and Dhaulagiri in space. After visiting the hidden glaciers and mountains, we take a step back and take the same route back to the base camp.

Day 12

Trek to Manang

It’s time to get back on the trail after that beautiful adventure to the peak of Chulu East Peak. After stepping down to base camp, as soon as possible, we head for Manang, a significant destination for the Annapurna Circuit trek.

The calm trail leads to wonderful Khangsar with beautiful vistas. We’ll have simple access to Khangsar village by crossing the Khangsar Khola bridge. We’ll continue on an uphill hike that provides a stunning perspective of Chulu East and its surrounding mountains. After more than 8 hours of trekking north of the base camp, you will arrive at Khangsar village. 

Day 13

Trek to Siri Kharka

Trekking takes more than 7 hours so it will be tiring on your way to Siri Kharka. The road is long and uphill and requires a lot of physical strength. 

After crossing Khangsar Khola, drive towards Shree Kharka village. Once in the town, you can go sightseeing, see the blue sheep and interact with the locals.

Day 14

Trek to Tillicho base camp

After 7-8 hours of trekking from Siri Kharka, you will arrive at Tilicho Base Camp. Hiking to the Tilicho base camp is more accessible than trekking to Siri Kharka. We’ll then descend the slope on a narrow track that passes through landslide-prone sections.

Passing subglacial lakes and glaciers makes the trek difficult on your way to Lake Tilicho. It’s fun to see, but walking the trails is difficult and unpleasant. There is a chance to find wild creatures and birds while travelling through the wild forest.

Day 15

Trek to Tillicho lake 

 

Early mornings are ideal for viewing Tilicho Lake’s pristine beauty, so get up an early hour to experience this core experience. We’ll eat breakfast shortly before our journey begins by crossing permafrost and frozen paths.

The lake’s beauty is unaffected by seasonal fluctuations. It is surrounded by lofty mountains that continuously provide the lake with fresh water. We’ll return to the route and walk gently after exploring the sequence of mountains and vibrantly blue water. 

Day 16

Trek to Yak Kharka

After having a great time on Lake Tilicho, we head straight to the trail. Follow the snow-covered fluffy path and cross the Meso Cantara Pass at 5120 meters. The route requires a lot of hard climbing, so keep that in mind when walking the trails.

A wooden bridge will guide you through an unmarked route across the Thorung Khola River. We are spending the rest of our time exploring communities once we get to Yak Kharka after a 7-hour journey

Day 17

Trek to Jomsom

After descending the trail from Yak Kharka, we’ll head north to Marpha. This charming community is known for its apple orchard. We’ll continue on an easy path into Jomsom, the administrative centre of Mustang District.

Historical museums, medieval monasteries, and manuscripts abound in this magnificent location. Glistening white mountains and landscapes makes the mesmerizing moment. Jomsom is located at an altitude of 2743 masl.

You can also walk towards Upper Mustang from here. 

Day 18

Flight to the Pokhara

After exploring the Jomsom, you can take a scenic flight to the Pokhara. The flight to Pokhara takes around 20 to 25 minutes, during which time we get to see a variety of mountains and waterfalls.

At Pokhara, you can visit Barahi Temple and other exciting places. I spent the evening watching the sunset and Machhapuchhare on Phewa Lake. Return to the hotel before dinner and have a good night’s rest.

Day 19-20

reserve day 

The purpose of Reserve Day is to offer trekkers extra time in case they get altitude sickness. It’s utilized when hiking is hampered by inclement weather like thick snow, strong winds, or haze. Reserve Day also helps with Chulu East Peak Climbing adaptability and training.

Day 21

Drive to the Kathmandu

Take a tourist bus from Pokhara to Kathmandu, which takes around seven hours, or fly for about 25 minutes and spend the night at a hotel. You can take a short evening night out in Kathmandu.

FAQs

Is the best season for Chulu East Peak Climbing?   

Caution should be taken when planning challenging activities such as the Chulu Peak Climb, as the season can significantly impact your trip’s overall outcome. Spring and autumn are the ideal hiking seasons to start your Chulu East Peak Climbing. The highest number of trekkers can be seen during these seasons. The weather is likely to be pleasant in the spring (March-May) and fall (September-November), with clear blue skies and spectacular panoramic views of mountains. 

We recommend you choose this season for your lifetime trekking adventures. We strictly ask you to avoid Chulu East peak in Summer/ Monsoon, i.e., June to July, and Winter, i.e., January to February. 

Can you do the Chulu East Peal Climb Solo? 

You can trek Solo in Chulu East but you must hire a guide. You will not have to worry about your safety, whether on a solo or a group trip. As you know, travelling solo itself is an adventure, but not on all routes. Due to long trekking routes, you may have problems carrying bags and navigating. So having a Porter and Guide for your Chulu East Nepal trek would be best. That is Why the Government of Nepal doesn’t issue permits for Solo or group trekkers unless you hire a guide. 

 How to Train for Chulu Fast East Trek? 

Focus on cardio as there is less accessible oxygen in the air at higher altitudes. Cardio helps you to vole with that. When trekking, you may need to start with strength training—practice hiking at a slightly higher altitude than you are accustomed to. You can also exercise in the gym. One of Nepal’s best hiking training for peak climbing is to run at least 4-5 times a week for 30 minutes.

What kind of Accommodation Do I Get? 

There are hotels, lodges, and tented camps throughout your journey. All rooms will be shared, with two people per room in hotels and motels and two people per camp in case of a tent. 

We start to set up camps from the Chulu Base Camp for a few nights. The staff will help set up the camps and prepare warm food for the day. 

How long is the Chulu far East climb itinerary? 

The entire itinerary will take about 20 days from arrival in Kathmandu to return to your home country. If you want to complete your mountaineering expedition within two weeks, you can do it. But, in the high Himalayas, there is a chance to quickly change altitude sickness and climate. Changing weather also affects your trekking time. If you face frequent altitude sickness, we need more acclimatization days, which can lengthen your Chulu trek journey.

Chulu East Nepal Climb Difficulty

This Chulut East Nepal peak climbing is moderate to great difficulty; you need a sense of adventure and a commitment to reaching the top. It cannot be compared to the Everest Expedition regarding problems, but it is also not a simple summit. On the other hand, this Chulu Far East Climb Adventure will enchant you with its enthralling and beautiful trek to the glorious pinnacle of Chulu Far East Nepal. 

 In rugged and challenging terrain, trails are full of climbs and canyons. You also have to walk along with the snow and glacier. The trek requires a daily walk of 6 to 7 hours, which can be extended to 8 or 9 hours. To go on this adventurous tour, you must be in good health and have a high level of physical fitness. In addition, prior trekking experience is required.

Altitude is an essential factor in the climbing program for Chulu East Peak. You spend most of your time above 2,500 meters. There’s a chance you’ll get altitude sickness if you go higher than the referenced height. Suppose your body does not fully acclimate to the elevation; the risk of altitude sickness increases. As a result, we’ve planned our itinerary to include plenty of relaxation days.

Training for Chulu East Nepal climb: Regular cardiovascular training at home, such as cycling, swimming, hill climbing, and lots of walking, can help you prepare. You can mentally prepare yourself for a daily walk of 5 to 6 hours on the trek. Seek out hills or a tall building and go up and down the stairwells several times. It may be helpful for your Chulu Peak Climb. 

Chulu East Peak Climbing Permits

Trekkers should contact recognized trekking agencies, who could apply for Chulu East permits (on their behalf) at the Department of Immigration, completing all relevant paperwork.

The permit is in US dollars but must be paid in Nepalese rupees. No trekking permit for Chulu east peak will be issued after your visa has expired.
