Chuluverse Odyssey - Nature (Himalayas)

The word chulu drives people crazy whenever they read my articles regarding the abstraction and virtuality surrounding mind. I am crazy too but let me tell you that chulu is not only powerful, inventive, beautiful but its just absolute power. The Chulu do exist in Nature, its beautiful as Himalayas, in this section i will just lay down the map of reaching the first summit just to appreciate the love for Chulu.

The origin of the word chulu can be traced back to roots of Himalayas, surprised. Chulu West and Chulu East are the two beautiful peaks in Nepal near Annapurna Circuit. Check the following link as all the pics on the internet are copyright so i just cant show it here. Try google and to your amazement see the black beauty behind whiteness of snow and blue sky peeping out of silvery clouds.

This picture of Chulu East is from another blog whose author seems to be another Himalayas Lover.

Chulu West - 6419 m. Region - (Manang District, Gandaki)

Of the two Chulus (East and West), Chulu West is the smaller peak. It was first ascended in 1952 by a Japanese Expedition. The Base Camp of this peak is situated in a small valley north of Manang, off the main trail to the Thorang La. There is a controversy regarding the name and location of the Chulu peaks. There are several peaks close by and are also a part of Chulu massif but are not indicated in the map. Thus it is difficult to differentiate between the two Chulus. However, the Chulu group comprises of four peaks: two in the east and two in the west. Chulu West may also be called Chulu Central. There is no technical difficulty in ascending this peak but progress can be slow as the slopes are vulnerable to avalanches in certain.

Chulu East - 6584 m. Region - (Manang District, Gandaki)

First climbed in 1955 by a German expedition via the north-east ridge, the peak of Chulu East, together with Chulu West, forms an integral part of the Manang Himal, which in turn is included in the Larger Damodar Himal. Chulu East lying south east of Chulu West is a comparatively smaller peak.
