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.
