CHHULU EAST PEAK CLIMBING
OVERVIEW
Chulu East Peak (6584m) is situated above the Manang Valley, which was first ascended in 1955 by a German expedition through the north ridge. The stunning views of Annapurna II, III, and IV, Gangapurna, Glacier Dome, Tilicho Peak, Manaslu, and the beautiful Dhaulagiri are seen throughout the climb. This peak is difficult to climb for beginners since it requires technically sound knowledge of climbing. For climbing, major work is to be done through the rope. You must be fit and optimistic to climb this route. The obvious approach to this peak diverges from the main trail to the Thorung La pass, past the village of Manang, and Base Camp is established in a small valley to the north. From base camp, the route follows a subsidiary northwest ridge that leads up to the main peak. An effort to reach the peak and return has been done in a single day, as setting camp up on the slope above base camp is not easy.
Trekking is a popular outdoor activity that involves walking and hiking through diverse terrains like mountains, rivers, and forests. It offers pleasure, adventure, and a chance to experience nature's beauty firsthand. Additionally, trekking allows individuals to connect with people in remote areas, gaining insights into their lifestyle and culture.
