This is basically a
trek around Annapurna peaks with an ascent of a technically straightforward
peak, Chulu East at 6584 meter. Situated high above the Manang valley
the summit of Chulu east offers a breathtaking view of Annapurna, Gangapurna,
Glacier Dome, Dhaulagiri, Tilicho and Manaslu peaks. Starting the trek
from Besi Sahar after a 6-7 hrs drive from Kathmandu, the trail ascends
gradually along the Marshyangdi river valley and eventually leads to the
village of Pisang where we leave the main trail and head up the Chulu
East base camp. Fully fit and acclimatised, we then attempt Chulu east.
Following an ascent we rejoining the main trail and head towards Kali
Gandaki valley crossing a high Thorung La pass at 5416 meter and make
final descent to Jomsom and take a flight to Kathmandu via Pokhara.
An opportunity to ascend a technically straightforward peak, a classic
trek around Annapurna passing through fascinating villages of ethnic groups
encountering a high passes are the major highlights of this trip.
Those who have a previous experience of walking on the mountain path
and is physically fit can chose to do this trip anytime in March to May
and September to November.
