First climbed in 1955 by a German explorer's 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 range. Expeditions to Chulu take the main trekking trail of Annapurna circuit starting from Khudi after 7 hours bus ride from Kathamndu. From Manang valley the trail heads towards untouched remote area of northern Manang districts where Chulu East and West dominates the surrounding peaks. Chulu East lying south east of Chulu West is a comparatively easy to climb among other peaks in the area.
