Highlights
Trip Overview
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 the Annapurna region of Nepal. Chulu West Peak rises to an elevation of 6,419 meters and offers breathtaking views of the Annapurna Massif, which includes Annapurna I, II, III, IV, Gangapurna, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, Tilicho Peak, Glacier Dome, and other surrounding peaks. Chulu West peak climbing begins in the foothills of the Annapurna region and extends all the way 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.
Leaving Manang, we walk up to the base camp of Chulu West to achieve our goals of climbing the Chulu West Peak. Talking about the climb, Chulu West peak climbing is one of the easiest climbing experiences. It is not so technical; therefore, prior climbing experience is not essential for Chulu West peak climbing. The climbing leader will give you some lessons on climbing and the use of ropes, ice axes, which will be enough for you to climb up the peak. From the summit of the peak, you will be blessed with some striking views of Manang Valley, the Annapurna ranges, and the Thorong La pass. From the summit, we descend and walk up to the world’s highest pass, i.e. Thorong La pass, for more gorgeous views of mountains and glaciers. Next, we head to Muktinath, which is a popular religious site for Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims. The place is not just popular for the religious value it hold,s but for the outstanding views of the mountains it offers. Leaving Muktinath, we conclude our journey with a walk back to Jomsom.

Good to Know
Chulu West Peak Climbing requires good physical fitness and prior high-altitude trekking experience, as it involves glacier travel, snow slopes, and a demanding summit day at 6,419 meters. Basic mountaineering skills such as using crampons, an ice axe, and rope techniques are helpful, and training is usually provided by the climbing guide during the expedition. Proper acclimatization is essential to reduce the risk of altitude sickness, and the itinerary includes rest days in places like Manang.
Climbers need climbing permits from the Nepal Mountaineering Association, along with Annapurna Conservation Area permits, which are typically arranged by the tour operator. Weather conditions in high altitude can change rapidly, so flexibility in schedule is important. The best seasons for Chulu West Peak Climbing are spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November), when conditions are more stable. Participants should come prepared with suitable climbing gear, warm layered clothing, and personal medications, while group climbing equipment and logistics are generally provided by the operator.
Traveller Review
5.0 Rating out of 5 based on 150 ReviewsAmazing Experience in Upper Mustang with Nepal Intrepid Treks
I came to Nepal to do the Upper Mustang trek with my friends in March 2025. We started our trek from Kagbeni, accompanied by my friend and guide. The blend of Tibetan and Hindu cultures was fascinating, and I especially enjoyed learning about the traditions of Buddhism. The people in that area were very kind.
I was amazed by the monasteries we visited; the entire region was fantastic. The ancient villages perched on the hills surprised us with their unique history and architecture. The variety of colorful paintings and decorations left a lasting impression.
I want to sincerely thank Nepal Intrepid Treks for supporting our trek, as well as our guide and Lal Gurung, Managing Director of Nepal Intrepid Treks.
Incredible Manaslu Circuit Trek with Nepal Intrepid Treks

Special thanks to Lal Gurung and the guide for their excellent service and care throughout the journey.

Unforgettable Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek – Beyond Expectations!
I did not expect the Everest Base Camp trek to be this incredible, but the Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek I booked with Nepal Intrepid Treks turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life.
From the very beginning, their top-notch service truly impressed me. I never imagined I could enjoy coffee, pizza, and snacks at such high altitudes. The hotel accommodations were surprisingly comfortable and the hospitality was outstanding.
What stood out the most were the breathtaking views of Mt. Everest, especially from Everest Base Camp and the iconic Everest View Hotel. Having breakfast with such a view was an unforgettable moment.
My guide and porter were extremely helpful and friendly throughout the trek, making the journey safe and enjoyable.
Special thanks to Lal Gurung, Managing Director of Nepal Intrepid Treks, for organizing everything so well. His team made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish.
I highly recommend Nepal Intrepid Treks to anyone looking to experience the Himalayas in comfort and style.
Thank you so much!
A Truly Luxurious and Unforgettable Everest Trek – Thanks to Nepal Intrepid Treks!
Man, this trek was absolutely amazing! I never imagined the Everest Base Camp Trek could be so luxurious and successful. It completely exceeded my expectations.
If this incredible journey was possible, it is only because of Nepal Intrepid Treks, especially the Managing Director Lal Gurung and my fantastic guide and porter. Their support, organization, and hospitality made everything smooth and enjoyable.
The helicopter ride with the stunning views from the top was something I will never forget. Having breakfast at the Everest View Hotel while admiring the world’s highest peak is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
The people along the way, the warm hospitality, and the diverse culture of the Himalayas were the top highlights for me. I felt deeply connected to the place and its spirit.
Thank you so much to the entire Nepal Intrepid Treks team. Highly recommended for anyone dreaming of the Everest trek with a touch of luxury and personalized care.
Manaslu Circuit Trek – The Closest Mountain Experience
I believe the Manaslu Circuit Trek offers the best mountain experience with an up-close view of the peaks with our naked eyes. Thanks to Lal Gurung, Managing Director of Nepal Intrepid Treks, for suggesting this incredible trek.
During this trek, I got to see Mount Manaslu very closely. I have also completed the Annapurna Circuit and Annapurna Base Camp treks, but among these, the Manaslu Circuit stands out for how near the mountain feels.
Special thanks to Lal Gurung for being a wonderful guide and providing excellent service throughout the journey.
