Highlights
It may not be the most searched destination for a trek in Nepal but Chulu East Peak is just as good as any popular hiking. The trek is formidably exciting and wild with dazzling white mountains, lush subtropical forest, and classic walking route.
The tracks are a bit old but still firm to accommodate any visitor who traverses the region. Walking through the quiet woods gives a sense of escape and privacy which you would enjoy graciously. Meantime, they are filled with unique vegetation and wild species that you’ll never get sick and tired of hiking.
The entire region is squeezed with divine sceneries rising from plain to the tip of Chulu. Day trippers get to hear the sweet birds’ songs, smell fresh air coming from mountains and step into villages.
Chulu East Peak Climbing is relatively easier compared to other immoderate treks. But it too encompasses off-the-beaten routes, sharp inclines, and glaciated terrains. Trek from base camp is long and strenuous with a precipitous ascent, high cliffs, and firn.
The trail meanders through a narrow ridge covered in snow which without crampons is impossible to walk. Chulu East Peak Climbing starts with a long drive from Kathmandu to Chame and then switches onto the trail that scrambles Pisang.
In subsequent days, the trail takes us to Humde Village, and Junu Khola, crossing several monasteries with prayer flags. Taking a steep climb, we’ll loom at Chulu East Base Camp from where the trek gets tougher.
Spending a day for acclimation, we’ll set up on a strenuous ascent that serves up rough trails, snow steps, and glaciers up to the summit. The trek gives a fair chance to climb high and place at Tilicho Lake. Climbing down the trail will take us past Jomsom and a picturesque flight to Pokhara.

Best Time for Chulu East Peak Climbing
Discover the grace and marvelous beauty of Chulu East Peak in Autumn as the season’s weather is great for walking. Given the refreshing atmosphere and breathtaking view, it’s always a joy trekking Annapurna circuit in fall.
Out of a clear blue sky and open-pit, you can enjoy rolling landscapes, colorful trails, and glistening snow peaks. Autumn has the cleanest air with monsoon rain washing all dust and smokes. It adds moisture to the dry air and causes a change in humidity. Leaving out the last few days of November, the weather throughout the season is mild.
The temperature during the day rises up to 15 Degree Celsius and cools only at night. It falls gradually and reaches anywhere between 7-8 Degree Celsius, resulting in chilly evenings. As the trail gains elevation, the temperature drops rapidly and reaches below minus at the summit so warm clothes are advisable.
After autumn, it’s spring that makes trekking easier with a temperate climate. It has lovely weather with gleams of sunshine during the day and bitter night. It’s relaxing to walk the trail in spring as the sweeping view of mountains and green pastures catch
As off-season, monsoon and winter are not so much likable. Both seasons endure harsh weather with heavy snowfall and rain most of the time. In winter, the temperatures fall below -5 Degree Celsius, making it too difficult to hold up. Meanwhile, Monsoon causes the trail to be slippery and makes it tough to navigate the way.
Difficulties of Chulu East Peak Climbing
Chulu East Peak Climbing is a moderate trek but it too has its share of difficulties. The trek is no cakewalk with nearly 23 miles of expeditions from Pokhara. Ascending steep hills and moving on a zigzagged trail isn’t that easy either. It demands a lot of energy and strong physical stamina to stay focused and maintain endurance power.
Climate from base camp and above is too often nasty and freezing cold. The rising altitude brings unforeseeable changes in temperature which is tough to overcome. Weather in and above the base camp is freezing cold even during autumn so bring insulated jackets.
Similarly, altitude sickness is another major hurdle for those climbing Chulu East Peak. Every trekker ascending Chulu peak has odds of suffering from the sickness after Humde village.
Due to the oxygen limit, the passenger starts to show mild symptoms anywhere from nausea to exhaustion. A quick and easy way to prevent the illness is proper acclimation, staying hydrated and eating healthy.

Saving all the sweet memories of Kathmandu, we’ll formally start our trek to Chulu East today. Our first destination is Chame which takes about 8 hours’ time by shuttle. So, to be on time, we have to move fast and start driving on Prithivi Highway as early as possible.
Our ride from Kathmandu is not so joyful but after coming along Trishuli River, it starts to light with mesmeric views. Driving through the hilly roads is exciting as we get to witness lush green forests and roaring streams that look magical.
After coming a long way, we’ll drive beside Marsyangdi River and remote Nepali villages. With the expansion of pavement, we’ll get up to Chame instead of just Besisahar. We’ll spend the first night of the trek at a lodge in Chame.

Traversing underneath the sheer cliff and crossing multiple suspension bridges over Marshyangdi river, we’ll arrive at Dukhure Pokhari. As we walk further into, the trail unrolls magnificent views of Annapurna II throughout the voyage.

More famous for its airport, Humde is a beautiful village in the east of Manang. The airstrip is nearly 2.5 kilometers from the town of Manang and the center of attraction. In fact, the whole Humde village is jammed with spectacular places, magnificent views of mountains and landforms.
You’ll also get to explore the region's longest mani walls, turn 266 prayer wheels with a right hand that rolls from the center of the village. The accommodation has been arranged at a local lodge in the village. This marks the culmination of another day for Chulu East Peak Climbing.

Waking up to the cool breeze of Chulu, we’ll have breakfast and get our stuff ready before leaving for the trail. The walk is a bit easy today with a few steep climbs and walks in-between the dense forest. Refresh the mood while strolling into the woods stacked with juniper and pine trees.
After a short time off at Humde village, we'll restart our trek and follow the trail that heads to Julu Khola. The trek keeps running on until we don't find reach the campsite at Yak Kharka. The places take precedence here offering splendid sights of a snow peak, dramatic high cliffs, and rock formation.

Tented Camp
The air starts to get thin after Julu Khola and increases the possibility of altitude sickness. So we’ll just take the day off before scrambling the way to base camp. To make the day worthwhile, we’ll have a few short distance hikes and explore nearby villages.
This will help us adapt to the changing weather and avoid side-effects of high altitude. Out of many great options available, we choose Chulu Far East Peak for the day trip as it gains elevation.
Therefore, after having breakfast, we'll take slow steps towards the campsite through forested riverbeds and lush hills. The walk provides fabulous mountain views, panoramic landscapes, and wildlife.
Meals: All meals (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
Tented Camp
After making the most out of acclimatization day and feeling refreshed, we shall be moving to the trail now. Coming out of the village, we'll take the lane that climbs uphill to meet Chulu Far East Base Camp.
With the trail slipping in rocky landforms, it becomes quite strenuous to walk. So, to prevent exhaustion, we'll control our pace of walk and take back to the backrest. We'll keep scrambling the trail for a good 6 hours to arrive at Chulu Far East Base Camp. We'll place a camp to spend the night.
Meals: All meals (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

Tented Camp
Hike from Chulu East Base Camp is considerably hard and tiring with undulating routes and glacial terrains. Walking too high at once can make the body ache and difficulty in respiration. Therefore, we take the day rest and let the body adapt to the decrease in oxygen concentration in the air.
Rather than just sitting dull and killing time, we'll trek around the base camp and explore secluded regions. For acclimation, we’ll walk a bunch of places that have precipitous climbs and breathtaking views of mountain ridges. As the sun goes down, we’ll head back to the camp and rest peacefully.
Meals: All meals (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
8-9 hrs trek Tented Camp
After taking proper rest, we can now head to Chulu East High Camp hiking up the inclined trail. As the path moves ahead, it crosses snowy slopes that can be only traversed with crampons. The trail continuing uphill is exhausting and takes plenty of time but comes with a reward.
Throughout the trek, we get to glance at Pisang Peak, Annapurna massif, and Chulu West. The time to be spent at the high camp is equally awesome with spectacular views of landscapes and the vibrant valley below. Our crew members will set up the camp and do the necessary preparation for Chulu East Peak Climbing.

It's the deciding day for whether our days of hardship and effort on the trail will pay off or be pointless. So, carrying the backpack full of equipment, we’ll steadily follow the trail that runs through glaciers and moraine.
With the support of the trek guide, we’ll beat the section that’s extremely challenging and move ahead of Chulu East Peak Climbing. Spending close to 11 hours on the trail over sheer cliffs, ice slope, and open gully, we’ll summit the mountain at long last.
From the top, you can look vacantly across the heart-rending view including Annapurna II, GlacierDome, and Dhaulagiri. After exploring the hidden glaciers and mountains, we’ll step back and walk the same trail descending base camp.

Within hours after navigating the trail, we’ll be again reminded how gorgeous the region is. The quiet trail inclining as far as Khangsar is terrific with picturesque views. Hopping the bridge over Khangsar Khola, we'll get easy access to Khangsar village.
We’ll carry on with an uphill trek that brings out a crystal-clear view of Chulu East and its neighboring mountains. Hiking out of the base camp to the north in Manang for almost 8 hours, we’ll finally reach Siri Kharka.
At this point in time, we’ll be left with no choice than to take a glimpse of natural scenery and go straight away to the lodge. We’ll spend the night there and continue trekking the very next morning.

With the trek lasting more than 7 hours, it’s going to be a long and stressful day on the trail to Siri Kharka. Thus, we fill the stomach with a plateful of yum foods and start hiking the dramatic trail up to Khangsar. The elongated trail demands a lot of physical strength when continuously slopes upwards.
After coming across the Khangsar Khola, we’ll head towards the village to Shree Kharka. Once we end up in the village, there’s a little sightseeing to be done, watch blue sheep, and interact with locals.

Trek to Tilicho Base Camp is slightly easier than what we experienced with Siri Kharka. So
chill out and enjoy the sublime view of mountains until you are not finished doing breakfast. From there, we’ll descend the hill over a narrow trail that moves through areas prone to landslides.
Hence, move carefully while embarking on the trail and watch out every step. We’ll also come across ice lakes and glaciers while leading towards Tilicho Lake. While this is fun watching, walking the trail is extremely difficult and bugging.
Passing through the wild forest, we’ll have a high chance to spot wild animals and birds. Eventually, after trekking proper 6 hours, we’ll reach Tilicho Base Camp which is also our dwelling for the night.

There’s a strong wind in the evening at Tilicho Lake. Therefore, to avoid the cold we’ll complete the trail as fast as possible. Upon reaching the spot, you can enjoy the peculiar lake and its surrounding nature.
Seasonal changes don't harm the lake’s beauty. It’s circled by high mountains which constantly supply fresh water to the lake. After exploring the series of mountains and clear blue water, we’ll get back to the trail and walk steadily. The night is to be spent at the tented camp.

From there, we’ll follow the trail 400 meters above Khangsar village and come across the ruins. Subsequently, we’ll lead an unmarked route that walks on a wooden bridge over the Thorung Khola river. Arriving in Yak Kharka after a 7 hours trek, we’ll get some warm tea and spend the spare time touring villages. Overnight stay at the village in a local lodge.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the trek difficult? How many hours does a trekker walk in each day?
Chulu East Peak Climbing is moderate for most of the trek. But it does challenge trekkers with adjacent elevation, rugged trails, and sloppy hills that are tough to beat. The trail above base camp includes steep ascents and glacial landform to drain the energy. Trek through the ever-changing climatic zone is totally annoying but doable. Anyone who’s in good physical shape and mentally strong to walk an average of 6 hours can easily do the trek.
2. How crowded is the trail to Chulu East Peak?
With lesser fame and demand, Chulu East Peak isn’t traveled as much as the Annapurna circuit or any other popular destination. The trail remains busy up to Yak Kharka but that has hardly anything to do with the peak. Most climbers walk the trail to reach the Annapurna circuit and turn around from there with just a few climbers caring to reach the summit.
3. Can the trek be done by beginners?
4. What is the accommodation like in the trek? Is it available easily?
5. How much weight a porter can carry during the trek?
A porter in the Annapurna circuit can accommodate at least two people simultaneously. They can help you with the maximum weight of 15-20 kg. This will cost you anywhere from US$20 to US$25 depending on the baggage weight.
6. What mountaineering equipment do we need?
7. How difficult is Chulu East Peak Climbing?
Although it’s known as a nonclimbers trek, ascending Chulu East Peak is no cream puff. The trail consists of many technical climbs including a string of steep hills, suspension footbridges, and glaciers. It combines the densely forested trails with a rugged one, making the trek awfully tiring and lethargic. Climbing up the passes is just as bad as scrambling mountains with rocks and debris.
8. Do I have to arrange the guide or will it be provided?
Unless you’re covered, the guide will be provided by a travel company. There is no need to bother or even think about it for a second. But if you’re traveling independently, we recommend that you arrange a guide by yourself. For that, you can always take help from the locals at lodges at guest houses. They’ll aid you to provide the best trek guides who know the routes too well and who speak fluent English.
9. Is it mandatory to have travel insurance for Chulu East Peak Climbing?
There’s no such thing as compulsory travel insurance for trekking in Nepal. But saying so, it’s nice to have one as it keeps you insured from all the damages that can incur during the trek. It even covers your medical and emergency evacuation cost and keeps you safe from unfortunate circumstances.
10. What happens if there’s an emergency?
We’ll try our best to not let any catastrophe happen to take all the safety measures. Despite that, if any crisis falls out, we’ll help you every way possible. We have our own medical staff who’ll keep checking on the mountaineers. The flights are well equipped with a first aid kit and supplemental oxygen for urgency.

Great Adventure @ ‘ Chulu East Peak ‘
We were a group of 5 people from Poland who wanted to climb Chulu East Peak. Fortunately, we jumped into Nepal Guide Treks and Expedition’s office with our inquiries. Within 15 minutes our trip was arranged and everything was made ready to go. We got help with all the paper works from Nepal Guide Treks.
Our team were all glad faced and helping nature individuals. Our guide was Ang-Dendi Sherpa who was more than just a guide to us. He was very talented in technical climbing and was a very caring person. He always asked how we were feeling and took care of us instead of rushing in the higher altitudes.
We would surely like to do more climbing with him as our guide. With our open heart, we recommend Nepal Guide Treks and expedition for any kind of adventure related activities in Nepal. We guarantee that you won’t be disappointed !!!!
Until Next time !!!

WOW !! Chulu East Peak – Successful
We have just completed our Chulu East Peak Climbing together with Nepal Guide Treks and Expeditions. We are very thankful for the top level of service we received during the whole trip duration. Our climbing guide – Ang Dawa Sherpa was a very wise and energetic climber with good technical climbing knowledge. Without his guidance, reaching the summit wouldn’t have been possible. We would like to do more climbing with him in future. All in all, we are very glad to have done this exciting and adventurous Chulu East Peak climbing with NGT team. We have already decided to do more climbing with NGT in the near future. We wish them all the luck for the future and strongly recommend for adventure-seeking trekkers and climbers for satisfying trips in Nepal.
