Chulu Far East Peak Climbing Cost and Itinerary 2026

After breakfast, enjoy a guided sightseeing tour of Kathmandu's UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including Patan Durbar Square, Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple), Boudhanath Stupa, and Pashupatinath Temple. After the tour, meet your trekking and climbing guide for a detailed trip briefing, equipment check, and final preparations before your Chulu Far East Peak Climbing adventure begins.

After breakfast, we begin our journey with a private tourist vehicle (car or green-plate jeep) from Kathmandu to Besisahar, which takes approximately 4–5 hours. From Besisahar, we continue by private local jeep along the rugged mountain road to Chame, the district headquarters of the Manang district, in about 3 hours. Upon arrival, check in to your lodge and relax. As this is a driving day only, there is no trekking, so you can wear comfortable travel clothes instead of your trekking gear.

After breakfast, we begin our first day of trekking, following the scenic trail through pine forests, traditional villages, and alongside the Marsyangdi River. Passing through Bhratang and enjoying magnificent views of Annapurna II, Lamjung Himal, and surrounding peaks, we gradually ascend to Lower Pisang (3,200 m / 10,500 ft). Overnight at a comfortable mountain lodge.

After breakfast, we leave Lower Pisang and take the scenic upper trail toward Ngawal (3,660 m / 12,008 ft). The trail offers spectacular views of Annapurna II, Annapurna III, Annapurna IV, Gangapurna, Tilicho Peak, and the surrounding Himalayan range. Passing through traditional villages, ancient monasteries, and beautiful alpine landscapes, we reach the peaceful village of Ngawal, where we spend the night at a mountain lodge.

Today is an important acclimatization day to help your body adjust to the increasing altitude before heading higher into the mountains. You can take a short hike to a nearby viewpoint or explore the traditional village of Ngawal, enjoying spectacular views of the Annapurna range. After the hike, return to the lodge for rest and preparation for the days ahead.

After breakfast, we leave the main Annapurna Circuit trail and ascend toward Chulu Far East Base Camp (4,800 m / 15,748 ft). The trail gradually climbs through alpine meadows and rugged glacial terrain, offering spectacular views of Chulu Peak, the Annapurna Range, and the surrounding Himalayan landscape. Upon reaching Base Camp, our climbing crew sets up camp, and you can relax while enjoying the peaceful mountain surroundings before the climbing phase begins.

Today is reserved for acclimatization at Chulu Far East Base Camp. You may take a short hike to a higher elevation and return to camp to help your body adjust to the altitude. The rest of the day is spent resting, checking climbing equipment, and preparing for the ascent while enjoying the spectacular mountain scenery.

After breakfast, we ascend from Chulu Far East Base Camp to High Camp (5,400 m / 17,717 ft) over rocky and glaciated terrain. As we gain altitude, enjoy breathtaking views of the Annapurna Massif, Gangapurna, Tilicho Peak, and the surrounding Himalayan peaks. Upon arrival at High Camp, our team makes the final preparations for the summit, followed by an early dinner and a good rest before the summit push.

We begin our summit push in the early morning, climbing over snow and ice slopes with the support of our experienced climbing guide. After reaching the summit of Chulu Far East (6,050 m / 19,882 ft) and enjoying breathtaking panoramic views of the Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, Tilicho Peak, and surrounding Himalayas, we carefully descend via High Camp and continue to Base Camp (3,800 m) for a well-deserved rest after this rewarding climbing day.

After breakfast, we descend from Base Camp and rejoin the main Annapurna trail, trekking toward the beautiful village of Manang (3,540 m / 11,614 ft). The trail offers magnificent views of the Annapurna Range, alpine landscapes, and traditional Himalayan villages. Upon arrival in Manang, relax at your lodge, enjoy a hot meal, and celebrate the successful completion of your Chulu Far East summit.

After breakfast, we leave Manang and follow the gradual ascending trail toward Yak Kharka (4,020 m / 13,189 ft). Passing alpine meadows, grazing yaks, and traditional seasonal settlements, we enjoy magnificent views of the Annapurna Range, Gangapurna, and surrounding snow-capped peaks. Upon arrival, check in to your lodge and rest while preparing for the higher elevations ahead.

After breakfast, we trek to Thorong Phedi and stop for lunch and a short rest to allow your body to adjust to the higher altitude. From here, you can choose to stay overnight at Thorong Phedi or continue to Thorong High Camp (4,880 m / 16,000 ft). We recommend staying at High Camp, as it makes the next day's crossing of Thorong La Pass easier and shorter.

Upon arrival at High Camp, check in to your lodge, enjoy an early dinner, and get plenty of rest to conserve your energy for the challenging pass crossing. Thorong High Camp is the highest overnight stop on the Annapurna Circuit Trek.

We start early in the morning to cross Thorong La Pass (5,416 m), the highest point of the Annapurna Circuit. From the pass, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks before making a long descent to the sacred pilgrimage site of Muktinath. After lunch, visit the famous Muktinath Temple and its holy shrines. Later, continue to Jomsom by bus drive, where we spend the night. Staying in Jomsom makes it convenient for the early morning flight to Pokhara the following day.

After an early breakfast, we check in at Jomsom Airport for the scenic flight to Pokhara. Upon arrival, transfer to your hotel and take some time to relax before enjoying lunch. In the afternoon, explore the highlights of Pokhara, including the International Mountain Museum, World Peace Stupa, Pumdikot Shiva Statue, and enjoy a peaceful boat ride on Phewa Lake. Overnight at your hotel in Pokhara.

After an early breakfast (or a packed breakfast arranged by your hotel), transfer to the tourist bus station for your luxury tourist bus to Kathmandu. The bus departs at around 7:00 AM, and the scenic journey takes approximately 6–7 hours. Upon arrival in Kathmandu, transfer to your hotel and check in. The rest of the day is free to relax or enjoy some last-minute shopping and explore the streets of Thamel & local markets at your own pace.

After breakfast, our team will transfer you to Tribhuvan International Airport for your international departure flight. Please arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure for check-in and immigration procedures. We hope you leave Nepal with unforgettable memories of your Chulu Far East Peak Climbing adventure and look forward to welcoming you back for another Himalayan journey. Safe travels!
