Chulu West Peak Climbing

Chulu West Peak Climbing in Nepal

Chulu West Peak is a trekking peak in the Annapurna Region of Nepal. If you want to fulfil your dream of climbing the snow-covered mountain of 6000 m plus, you can go for Chulu West Peak Climbing, which takes place in Nepal's second-best trekking region. The Chulu West Peak Climbing itinerary matches the itinerary of Annapurna Circuit Trekking, one of the top 10 best treks in the world. Few trekkers head to the base camp of Chulu West Pea so that you can call its trekking trail off the beaten. Some travel wirers call it adventurous. These reasons make the Chulu West Peak Trek utterly different from the other treks of Nepal. While climbing this peak, two camps are set up beside the base camp. Climbers climb the mountain of Chulu West to see the breathtaking views of Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, and Annapurna. This peak is for a beginner like you, but you need good physical condition. The main features of Chulu West Peak Climbing are:

    ★ Trekking peak for both experienced and non-experienced climbers
    ★ The itinerary of the Annapurna Circuit Trek
    ★ The world’s deepest gorge
