Chulu Far East Peak

Chulu Far East Peak

 

The remote highlands Manang lies to the north of Annapurna massive and in a rain shadow formed by it. Huge glacial moraines abound etched deeply by wind erosion into fantastic pillars. The approach up the Marshyangdi is relatively quick and involves gradual altitude gain, the trek takes you through a wonderful landscape and culture; from the subtropical lower reaches of the Marshyangdi valley with its terraced fields dominated by Gurung people, and Managba people in the upper valley, crossing rhododendron and pine forests enroute.

Chulu Far East ascent is not difficult and we will settle a high camp near the col. From that col we follow the long South-West ridge on snow and ice. After the ascent our route crosses the Thorung La, a 5350m high pass before dropping to Jomsom downstream the Kali Gandaki River. We fly back to Kathmandu via Pokhara.
