Of the two Chulus (East and West) Chulu West is the higher peak. The first ascent to Chulu west was made by a Japanese Expedition team in 1952. It lies in a small valley north of Manang; off the main trail to the Thorung La. Chulu East was climbed by a German Expedition team in 1955 via the North East Ridge. Thus, it is difficult to differentiate between the two Chulus. However, both the peaks are not technically difficult to climb but the pace of walk can be slow as the slopes are vulnerable to avalanches in certain areas.
