Chulu East is located north of Pokhara, close to
the Buddhist village of Manang. On easy trails and
suspension bridges, through rice terraces and forest,
the approach follows the world famous Annapurna Circuit
itinerary, through a wonderful variety of landscape
and culture, from the subtropical lower Marsyangdi,
inhabited by the Gurungs and Thakalis, to the northern,
arid Buddhist area. The Manang area lies in a rain
shadow formed by the Annapurnas and supports little
in the way of forest apart from pine, juniper and
scrub rhododendron. Huge glacial moraines abound,
etched deeply by wind erosion into fantastic pillars.
Chulu East offers spectacular climbing, directly opposite
the Annapurnas, and ranks amongst the finest of Nepal's
trekking peaks. The ascent starts in Hongde and includes
little technical climbing (Grade Alpine PD - a few
short sections of steep snowy slopes around 45 degrees)
and provides breath-taking views of Annapurna II,
III and IV. We complete this fantastic adventure by
crossing the
Thorong
La (5415 m) to Jomosom. From there we can either fly,
or walk along the Kali Gandaki river to Pokhara. This
program is strenuous between day 02 and day 05 and
is suited for very fit people with basic mountaineering
skills. You can add an extra day (quotation on demand).
