About this climb

Rising above Manang on the Annapurna Circuit, Chulu Far East is one of Nepal's most approachable climbing peaks — a straightforward glacier ascent with a huge panorama over the Annapurnas and Tilicho.

Chulu Far East is a trekking peak in the Annapurna region of Nepal, classified as a Group 'B' peak on the NMA Climbing Peaks list — meaning it requires the use of specialized mountaineering equipment. Among the three Chulu Peaks, Chulu Far East is considered the most straightforward, with a moderate difficulty level, making it a strong choice both for those extending their mountaineering experience in the Annapurna region and for newer mountaineers building toward bigger objectives.

The journey begins with a drive from Kathmandu to Chame, passing through deep valleys, soaring rivers and waterfalls, rhododendron- and pine-scented hills, and glacial moraines with wide Himalayan vistas. Along the way, the route offers views of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre, Pisang Peak, Himal Chuli, Nilgiri, and more.
