Incredible Journey of Chulu Far East Peak

We had amazing 20 days trip with Nepal Guide. In this trip, we were going to climb Chulu Far East Peak with our guide Sonam Sherpa. Sonam Sherpa was always smiling and helps us during trekking and climbing. Our trip starts from Kathmandu to Chame. We trek around daily 5 hours to reach the base camp of chulu far east. During base camp, we cross several technical sections of chulu with help of our guide. Next day, We climb the Chulu far east peak that was awesome views of Annapurna region mountains. We descend back to base camp and trek to Tilicho Lake and crossing the Mesokanta La Pass 5,120 meters, that was quite difficult to cross but views were great from that point of Mustang. Overall Our trip is quite good and high level of adventure. NepalGuide provided service is good and arranging is also good.

Dare to Climb Chulu Far East

I heard about Nepal many times in Switzerland and also known as "Asia's Switzerland". So, I want to travel Nepal for peak climbing Purpose.Prakash (Managing Director) was extremely helpful and prompt to all my email queries when we organised this trip. Nepal guide Treks successfully arranged for me only for Chulu Far East 6059m in October 2017. I already climb Dufourspitze which is the highest mountain in Switzerland.So, I had experience in peak climbing. In October, we trekked to pisang and towards the Chulu Far East Peak. We successfully climb Chulu far east Peak with the help of Our Guide Ang Dendi Sherpa and porters. View from Chulu, that image was beyond your imagination. When we back from Chulu, we can see world's highest altitude lake "Tilicho lake" that was an awesome experience I ever had. We celebrate party in Pokhara to successful climb Chulu Far East Peak.
