Riding on the highway along the Trishuli river and following the Prithvi highway we reach Pokhara. From there, we head North alongside the Marshyangdi river towards Besisahar. Later, we continue driving towards Dharapani to rest overnight.

Following the trail on an uphill climb from Dharapani, we head towards Chame. Chame is a beautiful village offering spectacular views of the Annapurna range and Lamjung Himal. We rest overnight in a cozy lodge at Chame.

Our trek starts from the fifth day as we will enter The Valley of Manang, naturally gifted heaven. After an early breakfast, we will start elevating alongside the river Marsyangdi which flows down the vale. Following the trail to Pisang, we will pass Bhratang (2950m) and Dhukur Pokhari (3200m0. We will stay in Pisang after trekking through a gratifying trail.

Following our trekking schedule, we will begin The Manang Valley trek after a scrumptious breakfast. The lower trails will help to energize as the path is relatively convenient. Along the way, you will feel opportune to visit historical Braga Gompa which is 500 years old and magical Ney Guru Sang cave in the south. After descending down through a steep trail, we will reach Manang village and spend an overnight in a booked guesthouse. 

The next morning, a glorious sunrise will wake you up in your bed. You will be astonished with the pristine view of golden mountains. Firstly, we will explore a stunning glacial lake, Gangapurna, and head to Chongar Viewpoint. After our brief visit to the viewpoint, we will pay a brief visit to many exploration points following ecotourism guidelines as much as possible.

After acclimatizing in Manang Valley with some unforgettable sights locked in our memory, we will march on to Letdar on the eighth day. The vegetation starts changing to shrubs as we will continue to climb out the valley. After a five-hour trek, we will reach Chure Letdar (4250m) and rest for the night.

We will elevate almost 600 meters on this day. So, we have an early morning breakfast and head towards the Chulu West Base Camp on the ending trail leading to huge pastureland. Beholding the stunning peaks in the background, we reach a majestic viewpoint where we will set up our camp. 

Our high camp will be set up by our team of experienced Sherpas at around 5100 m. Upon reaching the high camp, we will conduct some climbing practice and briefing about the climbing gear and equipment. 

We wake up to a glorious sunrise in the morning and have a wonderful breakfast. Then, we arrange our climbing equipment and head towards Camp I at 5530 m. We will rest here for the night so that we will be able to access the summit earliest possible the next day. Enjoy the delicious meals prepared by our cooks at the camp and live in the moment with panoramic views in the huge background. 

Crossing the rugged terrain of rocks and frozen ice and snow, we climb up to the Chulu West Peak Summit at 6419 m. The top of the peak offers some majestic views of the Annapurna Massif, Lamjung Himal, Himlung Himal, Dhaulagiri Range, and many other snow-capped peaks. After spending some time at the summit, we retrace our path towards the lower camp.

If the weather is not as favorable as forecasted on Summit Day, we will use this contingent day for the Summit Push. 

After conquering the highest trekking peak in the Annapurna Region, we will trek towards Phedi, a prominent stop in the Annapurna circuit. Our trek continues on pastureland to Letdar and follows the riverbank of Jarsang River. Then, we make an ascent to reach Phedi, our stop for the day. 

This is the day when we get to one of the highest passes in the Annapurna Region. We start our trek early in the morning before sunrise to avoid the wind. From Phedi, we ascend slowly and steadily until we cross the Thorong La Pass, the world’s highest pass which is also the most widely used. After crossing Thorong La, we gradually descend towards Muktinath in the Mustang District. The elevation decreases sharply as we descend about 1600 meters. In Muktinath, we visit the temple, sacred to both the Hindus and Buddhist followers. The natural spring water flows from 108 taps in the outer courtyard of Muktinath where people bathe even during freezing cold temperatures.

Our trek from Muktinath to Jomsom goes down the Kaligandaki Gorge past Kagbeni. Walking alongside the riverbank, we reach the beautiful town at Jomsom. Jomsom is also famous for strong winds that carry pebbles with them. We stay overnight at Jomsom and explore the local culture and traditions enjoying the delicious meal at the lodge.

From the stunning Jomsom town, we take a short flight to Pokhara. Pokhara is a popular tourist destination in Nepa with numerous wonderful places to visit. Phewa Lake, Vegas Lake, Davis Falls, Bat Caves, World Peace Stupa, Sarangkot are some of the major attractions of Pokhara. Chilling in the Lakeside is one of the relaxant things to do after a long trek.

The next day we take another short flight back to Kathmandu. Upon reaching Kathmandu, you may rest at the hotel or go sightseeing and shopping for souvenirs to take back home, We will get together for a farewell dinner at a typical restaurant in Thamel. 

After a wonderful journey to the Chulu West Peak, we will bid you farewell on this day. One of our representatives will drop you off at the airport for your scheduled departure. We hope to see you soon for a brand new adventure.
