Chulu far-east peak (6060m) is located in the western development region of Nepal. This is one of the semi-technical peaks mostly for the beginner to intermediate climbers who are looking for expeditions in future. It provides the opportunity to witness various tall mountains/several peaks, amazing landscapes, indigenous culture etc. Another plus point to choose Chulu far-east is that it is not far from the capital & not high in cost compare to the peaks of Everest region. The trail is less crowd, the peak is empty/hardly a very few climbers you see climbing. There will be feeling of no disturbance, no traffic while climbing unlike Khumbu peaks. We cross the highest pass Throng La (5416m) & mountain deserts. The mesmerizing view of mountains from Throng La Pass will lure you & make you feel like heaven on earth.
