Trip Facts
Chulu West Peak Climbing Overview
Chulu West (6,419m) Peak Climbing is situated above the Manang valley with breathtaking views across to the Annapurna II, III and IV, Gangapurna, Glacier Dome, Dhaulagiri, Tilicho Peak and Manaslu.If Chulu East Peak Climbing is the Island Peak of the Annapurnas, then Chulu West is the Mera Peak of the Annapurnas being that its a little more remote and has no real technical difficulty in reaching the summit.
The caravan route to Climb Chulu West Peak takes you through the classic trek around the Annapurna massif, ascending the Marshyangdi valley and crossing the Thorong La, before descending the Kali Gandaki valley to Pokhara. It begins with a drive from Kathmandu to Beshisahar (790m/2,591ft) then a trek to Kart (1800m/5905ft), Tinmang (2350m/7,709ft), Chame (2700m/8,858ft), Pisang (3200m/10,498ft), Manang (3400m/11,154ft) Ledar (4230m/13,877ft), Chulu West Peak Base Camp (4000m/13,123ft) Above base camp some steep loose rock requires some fixing of ropes but otherwise the route is most a snow climb.
Satori Adventures main objective is to provide quality service from an experienced climbing staff. With Satori you will have maximum enjoyment and an unforgettable trip in the Dhaulagiri region. Our first priority is always safety, we make all of our decisions around this priority.

Good to Know
Satori Adventures and Expedition aims at giving proper information to many travelers, trekkers and climbers who have some confusion regarding the booking process of the trip in Nepal. Satori Adventures therefore desires to provide guideline for the first-time visitors or travelers so that they can comfortably start the process to book the selected package legally. Before starting the booking process we always advise our trekkers, travelers and climbers to intelligently check whether the company is genuine and whether they are fully safe to travel in the company’s guidance. We ask them to be acquainted with the company they want book their holiday trip with. Is the company genuine and authorized from Government of Nepal, Office of the Company Registrar, Department of Tourism and Civil Aviation, Nepal Rastra Bank ‒Central Bank of Nepal (authorized for foreign currency), Permanent Account Number (PAN), and the Department of Cottage & Small Industries). Are they financially secured and environmentally conscious? We advise them to make sure about these formalities because there are some companies in Nepal that have been running business without abiding by the rules and regulation of the Government. Some companies were once registered but by now their licenses have already been expired and yet they have providing the services illegally.
On many occasions, Government of Nepal and Trekking Agency Association of Nepal have found that many foreigners’ tour operators, NGOs and INGOs have been involved in directly operating tours, trekking, and mountaineering holiday adventures without having government license and abiding by the Government rules. It has been also found that many individuals, freelance guides and porters have been arranging trips illegally by creating their own personal website. We have observed that many trekkers and climbers face a host of problems once they arrive in Kathmandu as they lack adequate information. Many of them file complaints to Government of Nepal and Trekking Agency Association of Nepal for legal action such as the refund of the advanced payment. There is hardly any justice given to the cheated clients. Thus, so as to prevent all these probable problems we request our travelers to check the company before booking any trip to the Himalayas.
