These
peaks are part of the Manang Himal, which are quite
rightly included in the larger Damodar Himal, the eastern
limit of which runs south from Chako and Peak 6687 in
a north-to-south direction along the Hunlung Khola,
Nar Khola and Phu Khola. To the south it is bounded
by the Marsyangdi Khola and the Mesokanta La. To the
west its limit is the Kali Gandaki and to the north
the Parchekya La (5,447m/17870ft).
There exists considerable confusion with regard to the
name and location of the Chulu peaks and what summit
actually constitutes Chulu West and Chulu East, since
it is soon becomes apparent to anyone that has climbed
in the range that several other summits close by, which
are actually part of the Chulu massif, are not indicated
on present maps of the area. For the sake of clarification,
four summits can be included in the Chulu group, two
of which are possible on the permit for Chulu West and
two on the Chulu East permit. What is apparent is that
the available trekking map is highly misleading.
The highest of these peaks, marked Chulu West (6419m/21,054ft)
on the trekking maps, has a recorded altitude from at
least two expeditions of nearer 6400m (20,997ft); this
might more accurately be called Chulu Central. The NMA
gives this an official altitude of 6,429m (21,060ft).
Many climbers are confused as to the exact location
of these two peaks as the range has 4 or more summits
in the immediate vicinity which are unmarked in maps
of this area. As a result many climbing parties have
mistakenly climbed one of these peaks thinking it to
be Chulu East or West. It usually understood that with
the permit to climb the East or West peak an attempt
can be made to the nearby peak as well.
A climb of one or both of these peaks combined with
Nepal's most famous Arround the Annapurna trek make
up for one of the most spectacular Himalayan trekking
and climbing outings. Allow about 25 to 30 days to complete
this climb . |
