Chulu West peak (6419 m) is located north – east of the Annapurna ranges in Manang valley. It was first ascended in 1953 by a Japanese Expedition. The Base Camp of Chulu peak is situated in a small valley north of Manang, off the main trail to the Thorong La Pass. There is a controversy regarding the name and location of the Chulu peak.
There are several peaks close by and are also a part of Chulu massif but are not indicated in the map. Thus, it is difficult to differentiate between the two Chulus. However, the Chulu comprise four peaks: two in the east and two in the west. East side Chuli east and Far East which is a climbing route from Nawal and west side Chulu West and Chulu Central.
Chulu west peak climbing offers beautiful Himalayan views of Annapurna region. There is no real technical difficulty in reaching the summit, but progress can be slow depending on snow conditions. Above base camp, some steep, loose rock requires some fixing of ropes. The long way from the mountain terrace to the top is required to fix Camp 1.
