Chulu West Peak Climbing is one of the best climbing peaks in the Annapurna region with a magnificent height of 6,419 meters.This peak climbing offers the adventurous opportunity to challenge themselves in the Annapurna region. The peak is the larger part of the Damodar Himal range of Manang in western Nepal.

Magnificent Himalayan Views.
Climbing demands technical expertise.
Ethnic communities like the Gurungs and Magars.
Natural Beauty and Biodiversity.

Overview
The Chulu West Climbers require technical expertise and a certain level of physical fitness to climb the peak. The climbers will face steep slopes, icy glaciers, and challenging rock faces. These challenges can be overcome using the proper equipment such as ice, axes, and ropes. As you climb higher altitudes, the difficulty level of the expedition increases because of the low oxygen level. All the challenges are worth enough enough to take. The sense of accomplishment is achieved once the expedition is completed and the reward you get is the panoramic views of Annapurna region.

Usually, the Chulu West Peak Climbing takes about 16-20 days to complete the trek. However, the number of days needed for this peak climbing depends on the trekking seasons and the weather conditions. The climbers have enough rest days for the various acclimatization. You must be prepared for the unpredictable weather conditions of this region. As a result, 2-3 days are kept as a reserve day.

The biggest reward of the Chulu West Climbing is the panoramic views of the mountains. They can extend their trek by doing the round Annapurna Trek as well. We the Alpinist Club with years of experience and knowledge are here to customize your trek as per your preference. To know for about the Chulu West Peak Climbing, contact us.

Trip Organization
Your Nepalese team may consist of several people, each with different responsibilities. They are:

The Guide Leader (Sirdar) is responsible for and leader of the whole team and is treated with respect by all. Often he has earned his position by starting as a porter and rising through the ranks.
Climbing sherpa:   is responsible fixed the rope and guide you to the summit 
The Cook is responsible for all meals and is on a trek that doesn’t use lodges for meals. (camping trek )
The Kitchen-boy is an assistant to the cook. ( camping trek )
The Assistant Guide is actively helping clients under the leader’s direction and set camp. 
The Porter is the load carrier for the trekking group. As Nepal is a mountain country with few roads, porters are employed to carry loads. Compliance with regulations and common courtesy dictates the maximum weight carried and the minimum wage paid. Porters are provided with gear based on the routes they follow and with insurance for alpine treks.

Each trekker is allotted the following maximum weights per person: Lodge (tea house) Accommodations: 15 kg maximum; Tent Camping: 22 kg maximum; Expeditions/summit ascents: 20 kg maximum. The porters are given a premium wage for carrying loads over 30 kg. In addition, the Nepal Alpinist Club takes care to take out insurance for the Guide and porters. Specific equipment is allocated to them for crossing passes at altitude (even if wearers often refuse to put on shoes due to lack of habit).

Accommodations in Kathmandu
In Kathmandu, you will be accommodated in a hotel. We use different hotels depending on availability. The two preferred hotels are:

Hotel Ramada: Located in the heart of Thamel, this hotel is ideal for walking the bustling streets of Kathmandu. The spacious rooms all have a bathroom, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi. A fully equipped and active dining room is available for all meals, and the breakfast buffet offers a wide choice of foods. The hotel offers currency exchange, laundry services, and luggage storage.

Sampada Garden: Located just 20 minutes on foot from Thamel and  Durbar Square, this hotel is convenient for exploring Kathmandu. The rooms have all the necessary comforts for your stay: air conditioning, bathroom, and Wi-Fi. Breakfasts are served as a generous buffet. The hotel provides currency exchange, laundry services, and luggage storage.

Accommodation during the  peak climbing 
For camping, accommodation during the expedition: during the expedition, breakfasts, Lunch, and Dinner are prepared by the kitchen team. They are taken to the mess tent. additional energy food is provided. Purchased locally, they offer a more limited. You can, if you wish, bring some complementary cereal bars adapted to your taste.
For lodge accommodation: meals are prepared by the cooks of the lodge and are taken from the lodge's dining room. 

Here is a typical one-day menu: 

Breakfast: eggs, toast or chapati, or Tibetan bread or pancakes, or pancakes, butter/jam, tea or coffee

Dinner: soup, main course, fruit (fresh or canned), tea or coffee
During the trek, tea or coffee is served with meals. Two cups per person are included. Apart from these included menus, other drinks and foodstuffs will be at your expense.
Water: provide tablets (Hydroclonazone, Micropur, or another type) to disinfect the water you put in your water bottle, depending on the source and on the advice of your guide. It is sometimes possible to buy purified water and refill your water bottle without having to buy bottled water. You can also buy mineral water in the cities (not included in the price) but its ecological balance is poor, as you know. Also, we do not recommend it.

Preparation for the Trek
Preparing for the trek requires several months of preparation with 4 to 6-hour walks every weekend for stamina and participating in a sport that required short periods of high exertion.

Medical check-up
Being in good health is essential to fully enjoy your Alpinist Club trip. If your last medical visit was more than four years ago, please get another general physical exam and tell your doctor the nature of your trip (climate, altitude, difficulty, etc.). The altitude also has the effect of reviving dental problems or other chronic pain, so getting a dental checkup is also prudent. If you are undertaking a high-altitude expedition, we advise you to consult a mountain medicine specialist.

Acute Mountain Sickness
This trip takes place at high altitudes, so some people may experience altitude-related discomforts like headaches, loss of appetite, and swelling of limbs. Most of these symptoms usually go away within a few days, but sometimes they can develop into a serious illness: pulmonary or cerebral edema. There are no preventive drugs for AMS. Diamox diuretic is often effective for symptomatic relief, but you should first check with your doctor to verify that it is not contraindicated for you. Think about it before you go.

FAQ's

1. What are the perfect seasons for the Chulu West expedition? :

The Chulu West can be done in two climbing seasons. The two seasons Spring(March-May) and  Autumn( September – November ) are favorable due to stable weather conditions, clear skies, and fewer climbers. Climbers with prior experience can go on the expedition during the winter seasons. There are many uncertainties such as unstable weather conditions, and challenges in route and only a few tea houses are available.

2. Do I Have to hire a guide for the expedition? :

Yes, the guide is necessary for assistance in the entire expedition.  Whether you are a beginner or an experienced climber it is recommended to hire a guide.

The guides with years of experience and knowledge will handle the challenges for the successful completion of the expedition.

3. How do I prepare myself for the expedition? :

It would help if you prepared yourself mentally and physically before the expedition. To focus on endurance and strength, you can go for long-distance running ( 10-15 km ) three to four times a week.
