Mount Chulu East (6,584M.) was first ascended in 1955 by a German expedition via the northeast ridge. It forms an integral part of Manang Himal combining both the peaks, Chulu East and Chulu West, which ultimately combined with Damodar Himal. Mount Chulu East is comparatively a smaller peak. Lying south east of Chulu West, the peak Chulu East provides breathtaking views of Annapurna II, III and IV, Gangapurna, Glacier Dome, Dhaulagiri, Tilicho Peak and Manaslu. This climbing is technically proven difficult for the new climbers. Hence, the climbers must be familiar with the use of climbing activities like crampons, harness ice axe, tying knots and handling climbing ropes. Major section of the climbing is devoted to ropes using and glacial crossings.
We would be lucky enough to find yak pastures, diverse flora and fauna, typical Sherpa culture and ever smiling faces of the rural Nepalese.
