Journeys of Imagination
For those who love Nepal, its landscape and people, here is a little known trekking peak leading to a wonderful viewpoint facing the Annapurna Great Barrier.
Chulu Massif rises north of the Marshyangdi Khola in the Manang region and form part of the Manang Himal, which is quite rightly included in the larger Damodar Himal. This remote upland area lies to the north of and in a rain shadow formed by the main Annapurna Himal. Huge glacial moraines abound etched deeply by wind erosion into fantastic pillars.
Chulu Far East
ascent is not difficult and we will settle an high camp near the col.
From that col we follow the long South-West ridge on snow and ice.
Although the approach up the Marshyangdi is relatively quick and
involves no great altitude gain, the trek takes you through a wonderful
variety of landscape and cultureÊ; from the subtropical lower reaches
of the valley with its terraced fields
where Gurung people dominate, to the ethnically as well as socially
interesting Managba people of the upper valley, crossing rhododendron
and pine forests.
After the ascent our route crosses the Thorung La, a 5350m high pass before dropping to Jomsom downstream the Kali Gandaki river. We fly back to Kathmandu via Pokhara.
