Overview
Chulu peak is one of the most splendid and beautiful peaks in the whole Himalayas. It is part of the bigger Damodar Himal range of Manang in western Nepal, which runs south from Chako Peak (6,687m) in north-south direction along the Nar, Phu and Hunlung Khola. It is also considered as the best peak in Annapurna region. The trekking trail for Chulu west peak climbing is a memorable route which provides the most beautiful views of surrounding peaks as well as lush green forests of Nepal.
We will trek through the arid but gorgeous valley of Manang, which indeed looks like the slice of heaven on earth. We will be able to enjoy the outlandish landscape of Manang and its unique settlement.
We will also trek through the green meadows. The view of majestic green hills are unforgettable. The trekking along the way to Chulu peak is adventurous and easy but the peak climbing is tougher. We have to make use of different equipment in order to climb the peak. We will spend plenty of time for adaptation and acclimatization to high altitude.
Nepal Eco Adventure arranges both Chulu East Peak Climbing and Chulu west Peak Climbing. You will have some of the best guides and porters in our country at your service.
The best time for Chulu Peak climbing are autumn (September to November) and spring (March to May). Team Nepal Eco Adventure is arranging the peak climbing activities at the Chulu west with huge experience at the Chulu peak standing with the height of 6419m above sea level.
Note: Peak climbing is a hobby that requires a lot of physical effort. Only someone in very healthy state of mind and body qualifies for the peak climbing. Nepal Eco Adventure will do anything possible for you to have the most comfortable, safe and exciting journey.
