From Pisang, you will make your way to Ngawal village, a small village of Rai and Magar people.

The view of the mountain peaks against the village skyline also makes the environment quite dramatic and gives it an isolated feel. Overnight stay at the guesthouse.

A steady ascent from Ngawal to the top of a hill leads to the Chulu East Base Camp. The trek is arduous, but the constant view of the mountains will likely keep you motivated to move one foot in front of the other. The hillocks also start to change in terms of vegetation and become sparse. Overnight at base camp.

The trek is difficult but beautiful. The trek heads through a series of snowy and icy trails to settle at the High Camp. Overnight stay at high camp.

This is the anticipated day of the climbing adventure. From High camp, you will make your way to the summit of Chulu East. The climb is filled with thick snow and you must be careful while navigating the terrain. When you reach the summit, you will be greeted by the panoramic view of the Annapurna (8091m), Gangapurna (7454m), and Tilicho Peak (7134m) among others. After spending time at the time taking in the glory, you will steadily and slowly descend back down towards the base camp. Overnight stay at the base camp.

From Base Camp, you will descend towards the Humde village. As you do, you will notice the changing terrain again, as the vast snowy expanse starts to get more verdant and green with farms and tree groves.
