| Is this trek for you? | |
| This climb is most suitable for those with previous experience trekking to high altitude, or having succeeded on other trekking peaks such as Mera or Imja Tse. It is also an ideal peak on which to develop expeditionary style experience, as participants will play an active role in establishing intermediate camps on the mountain. Mountain climbing knowledge is not essential but would be a definite advantage. This adventure is strenuous, and you should only consider it if you have a very high level of physical fitness and mental stamina, and the willingness to walk up to 9 hours in a day. | |
A little further on at Letdar (4200m), we branch away from the main track and and head towards the Chulu Himal. Chulu West Base Camp (4700m) is in a narrow valley about 3 hours from Letdar, up a steep grassy slope and scree. Here we will spend some time resting, acclimatizing, and becoming familiar with the climbing techniques and equipment we will need to be successful on ascent. | Itinerary: | |
