Of the two
Chulus (East and West), Chulu West is the higher peak. The first
ascent in to Chulu West in 1952 by a Japanese Expedition team.
It is lies in a small valley north of Manang; off the main trail
to the Thorong La. Chulu East was climb by a German Expedition
team in 1955 via the North East Ridge. Thus, it is difficult to
differentiate between the two Chulus. However, the Chulu group
comprises of four peaks: Two in the east and two in the west.
There are no technical difficulties in ascending these peaks but
the progress can be slow as the slopes are vulnerable to
avalanches in certain conditions. These peaks are lying together
with forms an integral part of the Manang Himal, which in turns
is included in the Larger Damodar Himal.
