Among these, Nagwal is situated as a haven of serenity and offers a breathtaking view of Annapurna! – Annapurna!!-Annapurna four and Gangapurna.
After reaching Pisang
We move away from the main path of the circuit, setting our sights on this Peak. As we ascend, the landscape transforms, with towering glacial moraines giving rise to dramatic rock pillars. It’s the rugged terrain that established the Base Camp and high camp, crucial stepping stones on our Summit push.
Chulu Far East Peak summit relies on the expertise of our skilled Sherpas. They fix ropes on the steeper sections, ensuring our safety as we make our way to the summit. While the peak summit is challenging, it offers a profound sense of achievement. As we approach the summit ridge, a small sack welcomes us, providing a moment of respite before the final push. The summit itself is a spectacle of experience, and the view is akin to that of climbing this mountain, a true reward for the intrepid climbers.
Panoramic Views from the Summit
Standing atop Chulu Mountain, the breathtaking panorama unfolded before our eyes. The Mountains stretch out in their glory. Showcasing Mountains like Annapurna, Gangapurna, Manasulu, Tilicho Peak, Dhaulagiri, and Upper Mustang valley. The beauty of this moment is unparalleled, etching itself into the memory of every trekker.
After the Mountain summit, Chulu East
After a successful summit of Chulu East, we descended back to Nagwal village with Manang. But the adventure is far from over; we now face the formidable chance of crossing over the pass Thoraong La. This high altitude mountain pass (at an elevation of 5,416m) connects the Manang and Mustang districts. The exhilaration of crossing Thorong La pass. This is a High Mountain pass in the Manang and Mustang valleys.
Now you are in the Muktinath village
Muktinath village is Mustang district of Nepal. This town is renowned as a pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists. Pilgrims from Nepal, India, and Tibet flock to the Muktinath Temples, seeking spiritual solace in the serene landscape. It’s a moment of cultural immersion, as we witness the profound devotion of the people in this sacred place.
The Trek in Jomsom and Pokhara
