Safety/fitness

Peak climbing is always difficult and requires physical and mental preparations. Chulu East is one of the tough trekking and climbing destination. You need to have extra fitness, experience in climbing, skills to use all the equipment and be mentally strong. Even though the trails to
base camp is easy the peak climbing itself requires a lot of effort.

There is altitude or mountain sickness on the other hand. Yes, there is a very high chance of getting mountain sickness. You need to be prepared for that too. Some symptoms of altitude sickness are shortness of breath, nausea, fast heartbeat, headache, dizziness, extra tiredness, etc.

Staying hydrated throughout the journey, having nutritional food, avoiding alcohol, and meats, and taking the journey slow so that you can adjust to increasing heights, are some of the solutions or precautions for altitude sickness.

However, if you ever start experiencing these symptoms you need to immediately talk to your travel guide. There are also some medicines available for altitude sickness. If you decide not to climb the peak you can also enjoy your trek by staying in base camp.

Guides and porters

Guides and porters are one of the most important parts of this trek. Since Chulu East is one of the tough destinations, you will need a proper guide to lead you. It is better if you trek through agencies. They hire well-educated, English-speaking guides for you. If not you can also hire a local guide.

They help you with directions, trails, accommodations, and, many more. Guides usually charge 30-35$ per day. Porters are more than necessary on this trek. You will be carrying all the equipment for climbing, tents, food, etc.

It is quite impossible to carry all this stuff by yourself and walk. Porters charge you 20-25 $ per day for carrying all your belongings but they must not exceed 20 kilos. You can share one porter for two trekkers if you don’t have many belongings.

Other requirements

Travel insurance– all the trekkers need travel insurance in Nepal. Travel insurance has become a part or requirement of trekking. You can always purchase your own travel insurance from your travel agencies. It usually cost around 150$(15000 NRS) which is good for 30 days. You need to give
them complete details about the places and altitudes you will be reaching because your insurance depends on details you have given earlier.
