From here we follow the Julu khola, which takes us to the north flank of the Chulu East, & Far East with steep climbing with a view of waterfall whose source is the Chulu east glacier. From the base camp we start to attempt for the summit, at the beginning we walk on the rocky and steep icy way, the best method is to fix Rope then you reach south west col. And right ridge goes to Chulu Far East summit, and East summit continues down to deep snow crevasses, which is technically very difficult among trekking peaks in Nepal. So that we need at least 4 to 6 days of climbing period from the base camp, the camp I will be at 5500m and camp should be at least below the ridge.
