Chulu West (6,584m) is a climbing peak located above Manang Valley, offering amazing views of Annapurna II, III, IV, Gangapurna, Glacier Dome, Dhaulagiri, Tilicho Peak, and Manaslu. The climb is physically challenging and ideal for trekkers who have prior mountaineering experience. It typically follows the Annapurna Circuit trail before heading off toward the Chulu West Base Camp. The ascent includes glaciers, climbing on snow, and dealing with high-altitude conditions, making proper acclimatization, technical skills, and the right gear crucial for a safe and successful summit.
