Chulu West Peak climbing is an adventurous activity that takes you high above the Manang valley and rewards you with some fascinating views of mountains in Annapurna region of Nepal. Chulu West peak rises up to an elevation of 6419 meters and offers some breathtaking views of Annapurna massif which includes Annapurna I, II, III, IV, Gangapurna, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, Tilicho peak, Glacier Dome and other surrounding peaks. Chulu West peak climbing starts from the foothills of the Annapurna region and goes all the way up to the Manang valley. A drive from Kathmandu through a scenic route takes you to Jagat. From Jagat, we walk along the villages, farmlands, and forests to the beautiful valley of Pisang. At Pisang, we can get a close-up view of Mt. Pisang that rises just above the Pisang village. A little walk from Pisang and we open up to the wild valley of Manang. At, Manang, we explore around the village and hike up to the lake of Gangapurna.
