CHULU FAR EAST TREK |
|
For those who love
Nepal, its landscape and people, here is
a little known trekking peak leading to
a wonderful viewpoint facing the
Annapurna Great Barrier.
Chulu Massif rises north of the
Marshyangdi Khola in the Manang region
and form part of the Manang Himal, which
is quite rightly included in the larger
Damodar Himal. This remote upland area
lies to the north of and in a rain
shadow formed by the main Annapurna
Himal. Huge glacial moraines abound
etched deeply by wind erosion into
fantastic pillars.
Chulu Far East ascent is not difficult
and we will settle an high camp near the
col. From that col we follow the long
South-West ridge on snow and ice.
Although the approach up the Marshyangdi
is relatively quick and involves no
great altitude gain, the trek takes you
through a wonderful variety of landscape
and culture ; from the subtropical lower
reaches of the valley with its terraced
fields where Gurung people dominate, to
the ethnically as well as socially
interesting Managba people of the upper
valley, crossing rhododendron and pine
forests. After the ascent our route
crosses the Thorung La, a 5350m high
pass before dropping to Jomsom
downstream the Kali Gandaki river. We
fly back to Kathmandu via Pokhara. |
