Chulu Far east is not technical, but you need to fix high camp and many Kharpas. Chulu Far East is easier to climb for beginners. To climb Chulu Far East is the same process as Chulu east. We need to collect Chulu East permit to climb Chulu Far East.

Asian Hiking Team organizes the Chulu Far East climbing to fix the High Camp and push the summit. The itinerary starts from Besisahar, but now a seasonal road goes to Chame or continues to Manang. However, we recoment to our clients start trek from Chame because of high altitude acclimatization. After finishing climbing our itinerary brings you Annapurna circuit Thorong La pass end trek in Muktinath and drive to Pokhara or continues trek to Nayapul. But if you have a short time, you can return the same way.
