| Programs | General information | Rates |
| Chulu East is located north of Pokhara, on the famous Annapurna Circuit route. Chulu East offers spectacular climbing, directly opposite the Annapurnas, and ranks amongst the finest of Nepal’s trekking peaks. The ascent starts in Hongde and includes little technical climbing (Grade Alpine PD – a few short sections of steep snowy slopes around 45 degrees) and provides breath-taking views of Annapurna II, III and IV. We complete this fantastic adventure by crossing the Thorong La (5415 m) to Jomosom. From there we can either fly, or walk along the Kali Gandaki river to Pokhara. This program is strenuous between day 04 and day 07 and is suited for very fit people with basic mountaineering skills. You can add an extra day (quotation on demand). |

We recommend to book a 2nd high mountain guide who will help during the ascent and bring back to the base camp those who are not able to reach the summit. Without the high altitude sherpa, a whole group could be obliged to return to the base camp just because one of the members is not able to reach the summit. * Pokhara - Kathmandu by plane : 75 US $ (one way). |
