The trail climbs to Tyanja at 2,360m, then continuing through forest, but near the river to Kopar at 2,590m. As we reach the Chame, the headquarters of the Manang district, we are rewarded by the fine views of Annapurna II as you approach Chame and two small hot springs by the town. Along this route we are introduced to a local community of which the residents are said to have migrated from Tibet centuries ago, noticeable by their distinct physical features and lifestyle as well as architecture and livelihood unique to Tibet.

On this day we will start our trek by climbing Telekhu through the forest to Brathang .After sometime we will see Paungda danda and we will cross back to south bank of Marshyangdi and climb over a ridge through blue pine forests.As our trek heads to upper part of Manang valley we reach to Pisang.

Today our trek will slowly climb upto the Tibetan style village of Bryaga where we will see houses stacked one to another and then we will continue through countryside, the village of Manang.

This day we will stay in Manang where we can have short hiking towards Khangsar or you can allow your body to acclimatize to higher altitudes and thinning the air.

From Manang, we will continue through alpine landscapes with high altitude vegetation and forests. A gradual ascent takes us to Yak Kharka and then to our todays camp. Our today’s camp area is most used as the alpine pasture by the local people.

From the Chulu Base Camp, we will continue hiking towards Camp I. The route is not that technical. But it would be better to remember that we are climbing on high altitudes. At this juncture we relish the magnificent views of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountains including Manaslu, Gangapurna and Lamjung Himal.

We will leave camp I and continue climbing the rock band to Camp II. The route is not that technical but we may have to use ropes, crampon, and ice-axe. We will set up Camp II at 5,530m /18,143ft. Some visitors also attempt the summit directly from Camp I. However, since the climb is relatively straightforward from the Camp II until the summit, we make an overnight stay at Camp II for proper rest and acclimatization.

It is our summit day, and it is going to be long day. Therefore, we will wake up much earlier today. Each moment we have to work hard through the icy high-altitude trail but the outstanding high Himalayan scenes are such tempting that our eyes love to watch more over the horizon than on our trail. After summiting, we will return back to Camp I.

From Camp I, our return path descends all the way to Leder. While descending, we enjoy the panoramic views of the Annapurnas and other peaks. We make our overnight stay at Leder and celebrate the summiting of Chulu West Peak.

Accommodation at besisahar

We will be back to beshisahar through camps like Chame, Pisang, Bahundanda.

Today upon our breakfast, we make a 200 kilometers drive back to Kathmandu from Pokhara. Upon arrival in Kathmandu, we will be escorted to our hotel. There is nothing to do but trade emails with travel companions and organize the photos. We can spend the evening either leisurely or perhaps catches up on some last-minute shopping.

On this day we will have rest or if you want then we will go to spa and massage sothat tireness will be removed. In evening we will go for a shopping in Thamel and Ason street.
