Trek Overview

Chulu west peak climbing is one of the most popular peak for climbing in Annapurna region. Chulu west would be the best choice for beginner climber who is willing to reach above 6000M with minimum difficulty and less challenge. This beautiful peak is located in the middle between Chulu far west and Chulu Central and in the eastern side. Reaching to the summit of Chulu West (6419 m) is gradual mountain walk with some difficulty but we should have to respect to the towering height of Chulu West(6419M). Some of the world tallest mountain as well as bunch of other high peaks can be seen from the top of Chulu West.
