Chulu West Peak falls on a popular trekking destination in the Annapurna region and then follows Annapurna's classic main trail to Thorong – La Pass. There is a series of Chulu peaks, East, West, Far East, and center, but this program is for Chulu West climbing. It stands at an elevation of 6419 meters. Chulu offers an exciting peak climbing opportunity and outstanding Himalayas panoramas. One can observe Annapurna massif, Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, and other peaks. Therefore, Chulu West Peak is one of the best trekking peaks in the Annapurna region for adventure seekers. Still, it requires more significant commitment and previous trekking and climbing experience with the proper physical condition.

However, Himalayan Exploration has uniquely designed itineraries that captivate your imagination and push your extreme desire. The massif of the Chulu peak climbing trail begins from Bensi Shahar. It then continues uphill along the Marshyangdi River valley by exploring the low altitude with the tropical climate and a trek through the different small medieval villages, landscapes, waterfalls, and forests. Moreover, the trail can extend through the medieval towns of Nar and Phu.

One can explore the hidden paradise and enrich Buddhist culture and monasteries. Further extension of the track after the Chulu West Peak climbing can join the world's highest Lake, Tilicho Lake (4949 meters), and make another grand traverse of Meso Kanto – La at 5089 meters from sea level.

Upper mustang trek

I did this trek in Upper Mustang with my sisters, and it was an incredible experience. Everything was very well organized, and we truly enjoyed every part of the journey. I also highly recommend kumar as a guide – he was knowledgeable, helpful, and made the trek even more special. A truly unforgettable adventure!

A wonderful experience!

I did the Phoksundo Lake trek with Kumar and it was a superb experience. It is an adventure, so you have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone, but Kumar always adapts to the unexpected and makes the trip as enjoyable as possible! The landscapes are magnificent, you meet lots of people along the way, and you really push your limits! Kumar is an excellent guide attentive, friendly, and his prices are very fair!

I recently did an annapurna curcit with my brother and his girlfriend. It was an amazing trek with the help of kumar and his team . It was one of the best experience of our life . The annapurna curcit is the best of the treks that people can choose for. I sincerely recommend this company for other travellers.

Impressive tent trekking Dolpo 2023

The 18-day Lower and Upper Dolpo tour was individually tailored to our needs by Kumar. Kumar had put together a great team of guide, cook and mule guide. This team fulfilled all of our wishes at all times during the entire tent trek. Narsang, our guide, is very attentive and careful along the entire route. Kumar is very reliable. He looked after us very well in the preparation and execution of our trek and during our stay in Kathmandu right up to the farewell at the airport. A highly recommended local company when it comes to individually planning a trekking tour. The trip was a great experience. Chris and Hajo

Honest & Friendly

Our non-profit organisation needed a local tour guide to help with our local guide and logistics. After much research, we engaged with Kumar. During our 4 days trip, Kumar demonstrated excellent local knowledge, punctuality, friendliness. During the trip he never tried to sale us anything. And with a charitable and kind heart, he did not even charge us for this ngo trip. thank you so much.

Reliable and responsible

I was very lucky to have Kumar to arrange our 5 day stay in Nepal. From the pick up at the airport to showing up punctually every morning at the hotel lobby, everything was smooth and hassle free. Kumar is a friendly and kind-hearted gentleman who genuinely wants to help visitors to experience the best of Nepal. Will definitely choose Himalayan Exploration for my next trekking.
