The Chulu far East peak climbing is well-suited for mountaineers looking for a challenging and demanding experience of the Himalayan peaks. Most of the climbers get confused with the exact location of the peak as both East and West Chulu have 4 or more summits in the immediate vicinity.
The location is even unmarked in the maps of the area; as a result climbers end of climbing the wrong peaks. A climb of one or both of these peaks combined with Annapurna circuit trekking makes up a spectacular Himalayan trekking and climbing.

Reviews
Chulu East Peak Climbing
Climbing Chulu East was one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had in the Himalayas. The trek through the Annapurna Circuit was absolutely breathtaking, and by the time we reached the base camp, we were fully acclimatized and ready for the climb. Chulu East is a technical peak, and it pushed me to my limits, but our guides were exceptional, providing clear instructions and making sure we were safe at all times. The feeling of reaching the summit with panoramic views of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Manaslu was beyond words. This climb is ideal for anyone looking for a true mountaineering experience in Nepal. I’d highly recommend it to anyone wanting to challenge themselves in a spectacular setting
