Overview
The Chhukung Ri peak climb is not a challenging peak for climbers. The Chhukung Ridge is a rocky peak, a destination for an acclimatization ascent by groups before climbing the highest peaks. According to the Himalayan standards, Chhukung peak is small and doesn’t need technical expertise. Our climbing itinerary covers perhaps the most incredible scenery of mountain-high passes of the Everest region, Nepal.
As part of climbing, you can see the tallest mountains, the high mountain villages, dazzling landscapes, lush green forests, and some of the former Buddhist monasteries en route. Furthermore, it has a great possibility to experience the local Sherpa cordiality. Moreover, tourists can feel a similar experience to climbing the Kongma La Pass summit (5,535/18,099 feet) which does not require past hiking experience.
Obtain a Adventure Travel Insurance.
I believe that you don’t board without experience with travel insurance. On the off chance that you do, you better reconsider. Experience travel protection is ostensibly the main thing to have close by (after your identifications and visas) for an excursion like climbing Chhukung Ri Summit. Numerous climbers needed to utilize their movement protection on different occasions out and about, despite the fact that they’re solid.
You never realize when something may happen particularly while you are climbing. Breathe easy in light of realizing that whether your flight gets dropped or you end up wiped out and in the clinic, you will be covered. Numerous climbers go with buying Travel Insurance for each and every one of your travelers.
Pack for your Chhukung Ri peak climb Adventure
What you pack will depend on what time of the year you plan to climb Chhukung Peak. Remember that you’ll be in a towering mountain province though so, no matter what layers to pack. While your clothing may vary, there are equipment checklist travel essentials that we recommend you bring for your climbing tour. From packing essentials to climbing outdoor essentials, hiking essentials, camping essentials, and more… We’ve got you covered. Still, confused? ask us for special and additional climbing gear.

Upon landing in the Lukla marketplace, meet the entire climbing team and start the hike to Bengkar Village. Lukla trail to Phakding is a lower Solu Kumbu scenes go essentially up in rising request. The movement goes further with a delicate move up the mountainside on the left shore of the Dudh Koshi. A little culmination, Nupla is only close to you on the contrary bank of the River. Passing a few Sherpa towns, we arrive at Bengkar town.

The Everest trail rises through the Koshi riverbank into the mountain, through woodland to Chumoa. We proceed with many highs and lows; cross a stream, and pass by the little Monjo villa. We walk to the Sagarmatha National Park check mailing station where everybody should pay the park extra charges. We follow a short stroll along the stream banks of this valley where the significant waterway assembles one another. Getting over the Hillary span, you will have the principal amazing perspective on Mount Everest (8848m) and Lhotse (8516m.). Namche Bazaar is a midpoint for selling traveling cog wheels, food sources, and other vital items.

Start with a lofty one-hour move to the Sengboche airstrip (3790m), from where we will gradually climb towards Khunde passing various chorten (stone Buddhist landmarks) and slope station. We go to a slope station to have an amazing perspective on Mt. Everest, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Nuptse, Lhotse, Tawche, Kwangde, and a few others in mountains inside 360 deg points. We walk further to Khumjung town which is the biggest town in Khumbu, at the lower region of the sacrosanct pinnacle of Khumbila. Visit Khumjung Monastery and Kunde emergency clinic assuming that you have several hours time to take care of the Sherpa people group.

The Everest old-style trail goes on leaving a precarious bluff that drops down to the Dudh Kosi waterway. Get an astonishing display of Ama Dablam (6812m), Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse (7855m), and Tawoche (6501m) from your climbing way. We stroll to the Tengboche slope passing Trashinga, Phunki Tenga, and beautiful Rohodondrons woodland. Monastery Tengboche (Om Mane Padme Hun) allows a decent perspective on sunrise and sunset at Mount Everest and Ama Dablam Horizon.

We trek leaving Tengboche at the backdrop, we go down passing with Rhododendron woodland and enter Deboche village. Cross Imja River suspension bridge, head towards Minlinggo, and inter Imjatse Valley beneath the mighty peaks of Ama Dablam, Nuptse, and Lhotse.

Today is one of the most easier days hikes to get Chhukung resorts. Walk a little bit for better acclimatization before climbing. Chhukung Resort is one of the nice guest houses in Chhukung village.

A tough day that we need to wake up very early morning. Having breakfast in the very early morning, we begin to climb. Have in mind that we need to get summit before noon because in the afternoon it’s strong and windy. The trail moves up beyond the base camp for several hundred meters before striking off the steep hillside. The climbing is easy because of the rocky trail.
Reaching the summit, you can take photographs and descend downhill to Chhukung Lodge for delicious Lunch. Later Lunch, we take our entire backpacks and descend to Dingboche village guest house. Dingboche village offers better guesthouses and is also warmer than Chhukung village.
Our hiking trail passes across several tiny lodges with their stone-walled potatoes fields, down alpine pastures through the kharkas of Tsura, Orsho, and Shomare to Pangboche village. Pangboche is a big settlement after Khumjung that stays with better lodges and opens all around the year. Above the Pangboche guest houses, there is an ancient Gompa (monastery), almost the oldest in the Khumbu territory.
Return to Namche Bazaar is an easy hike today that we pass Sanasa and Lagusasa villages. The trailhead is furthermore twenty minutes to find an Amadablam lodge for lunch. Later in lunch, we have easy hikes to get to Namche Bazaar guest house.

It’s our final day hikes in the Khumbu Area. We trek to Lukla with the same trail as we use on ascend some days earlier. Upon arrival at Lukla airport hotel, Buddha Lodge we take a rest. Tourists can see the sights of Markets, local houses, shops, or coffeeshop for a refresher.

We board our early flight for flying to Kathmandu airport. Upon arrival at Kathmandu Tribhuvan domestic airport, we arrange a return transfer back to your hotel. In the afternoon, go shopping or request us to discover Kathmandu as a guided trip at an additional cost.

Chhukung Ri climbing Review
Chhukung Climbing Journey
I and my wife booked a Chhukung peak climb after reading the nice stories and reviews of Gokyo Treks and Expedition company. It was our first time in Nepal after Covid-19. Although it is a high climbing season, there were very less trekkers in the Everest zone because of coronavirus travel restrictions.
Our guide was Kaji Sherpa and Dewan Rai was a porter. Both of them were nice and friendly. Ammar, the owner of the agency was a friendly and honest person I ever met, replied to all of my questions, and offered the best deal. Luckily we had good weather, so our flight to Lukla and return was on time.
Besides trekking, Ammar guided us to Kathmandu world’s heritage sites. Thanks, Ammar for arranging a great travel plan for us. We are hoping to be back for our next trip to the Himalayas some years later.
