Chulu East (6,584 m.) is situated
high above the Manang valley with breathtaking views
across to the Annapurna II, III and IV, Gangapurna,
Glacier Dome, Dhaulagiri, Tilicho Peak and Manaslu. The
climb is combined with the classic trek around the
Annapurna massif, ascending the Marshyangdi valley and
crossing the Thorong La, before descending the Kali
Gandaki valley to Pokhara. The climb is technically
straightforward and you should be familiar with the use
of your equipment, crampons, harness, ice axe, tying
knots and handling climbing ropes. Most of the climbing
will be involved walking roped together, including the
glacial crossings. You should be very fit and have good
experience of climbing.
The North-East Ridge is considered the normal route to
climb this peak from a Base Camp on the moraine at 5334m
(17500ft). Most climbers make it to the top and back
from Base Camp in one long day although some have, in
the past, established a higher camp somewhere below the
peak. Another subsidiary peak called Chulu Far East
(6059m) 19880ft) may also be attempted from this
approach.
Although the approach up the Marshyangdi is relatively
quick and involves no great altitude gain, the trek
takes you through a wonderful variety of landscape and
culture; from the subtropical lower reaches of the
valley with its terraced fields where Gurung people
dominate, to the ethnically as well as socially
interesting Managba people of the upper valley, crossing
rhododendron and pine forests. 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

Equipments checklists -
climbing trips
In addition to the above list of suggested
trekking equipment, you should take along with
various items of mountaineering tools. For any
trip which has crossed by steep, snow-covered
ground, or which has included section of glacier
travel, it might be necessary for the group
roping up as a safety precaution. To facilitate
this process of roping up, you will need to
maintain a minimum requirement, a climbing
harness, a climbing sling and two locking
carabineers. Plastic mountaineering boots, a
mountaineering ice axe and a pair of crampons
with front points are the other items of
equipment, which are required for our trekking
peak trips. (Please note: Our recommendation
that you take no more than 33 pounds of trekking
equipment DOES NOT include your plastic boots,
ice axe, crampons or harness/carabineers. During
the trek, climbing hardware will be carried
separately from your personal trek bag in-group
bags until needed).
An explanation of the equipment that you will
need
Daypacks for climbing trips
3000-4000 cubic inches. For climbing trips, you
will be required to carry more warm clothing
during the climbs and also your personal
climbing gear. For this reason, you will need a
slightly bigger daypack than for a trekking-only
trip. If you have any questions about gear,
please do not hesitate to call our office for
advice.
Equipment Rental
In order to minimize your expense outlay for
trekking and climbing equipment you may never
use again, we offer a wide range of equipment
available for rent for the duration of your
trip. All rental equipment can be picked up from
your trip leader upon arrival for your trip
