Overview

The greatest voyage for ambitious trekkers in the Annapurna region is the Climbing of Chulu West Peak. Scaling the mountain can be a daring adventure and a thrilling once-in-a-lifetime event. The Annapurna Circuit has consistently been one of the most popular trekking locations in the world.

Chulu West peak is situated on the Annapurna Circuit, one of the Himalayas’ most incredible places. A Japanese team scaled the peak for the first time in 1952. The Damodar Himal Range includes Chulu West, which rises above the Manang Valley to the north.

The routes to Chulu West Peak provide spectacular scenery in the circuit’s eastern valley, following the verdant Marsyangdi River valley through into the highlands with breathtaking views of the mountains. The summit of Chulu West Peak provides a superb view of the surrounding peaks and beyond into Nepal and Tibet’s isolated valleys. It’s also famous for its scenic natural beauty and cultural variety.

The trip begins in Kathmandu and ends in Besisahar. The path to Besisahar takes you via many hills, primitive roads, little villages, and rivers. It is the trek’s starting point. The journey continues over the Annapurna Circuit routes, passing through communities such as Chame, Pisang, and Manang. You prepare for the climb to the summit of the Chulu West with suitable acclimatization and climb training. After completing the task, you’ll return to Kathmandu to complete the journey.

Trekking and climbing demand teamwork and common cooperation among trekkers. The use of the equipment and technical expertise regarding the expedition are equally critical to the trip’s success.

The trail now enters the dry and arid terrain of Manang district, which is located in the rain shadow zone and receives little rain in the summer and snow in the winter.

The trail then falls down to the valley floor, crosses the Sabche River, and arrives in the neighborhood of Braga town, with views of Annapurna II and IV.

FAQ

Is it necessary to hire a guide to climb Chulu West?

You must go through a recognized local firm to obtain a permit for the Chulu West Peak climb, and guides are hired for this purpose. Climbing the mountain with guidance is strongly recommended for beginner to intermediate climbers. A crevasse is present on the standard climbing route, and new risks may arise throughout the climbing season. Even if they don’t want to climb with them, experienced climbers/guides who want to try new routes will have to be assigned a local guide. As a result, certainly, legal assistance is essential.

What is the main goal of a mountaineering adventure?

A mountaineering expedition’s main goal is to reach the summit of a high peak that has previously resisted all attempts to climb it. However, if the expedition does not achieve its target, it should not be assumed that it is a complete failure.

What kind of preparation is essential for this adventure?

Chulu West is not an easy climb like any other mountain excursion, yet it is acceptable for novice to intermediate climbers. Mountains are classified according to their technical and physical challenges. Climbers should concentrate on endurance and strength training during their training. Any sort of cardiovascular exercise, such as long-distance running 3 to 4 times per week, cycling (1 hour – 2 hours), and trekking with 10-15kg weights on are all recommended.

How can you stay safe while climbing a mountain?

The following are the essential point to stay safe while climbing a mountain:

  • Always check the harnesses
  • Check the Knots
  • Keep the Climbing Hamlet in mind at all times
  • Always double-check the rope and the belay device.
  • Check to see if the rope is long enough.
