Chukhung Ri Climb

The Chukhung Ri peak climb is not particularly challenging for climbers. This rocky peak is often used for acclimatization by groups before attempting higher summits. By Himalayan standards, Chukhung Peak is relatively small and does not require technical expertise. Our climbing itinerary includes some of the most incredible scenery of mountain-high passes in the Everest region of Nepal.

During the climb, you’ll encounter breathtaking views of the tallest mountains, high mountain villages, dazzling landscapes, lush green forests, and historic Buddhist monasteries. Additionally, you’ll have the opportunity to experience the warm hospitality of the local Sherpa community.

The experience is similar to climbing the Kongma La Pass summit (5,535m/18,099 feet), which also does not require prior hiking experience.

However, since you’ll be in a high mountain region, it’s essential to pack appropriate layers regardless of the season. While clothing may vary, there are essential items on our equipment checklist that we recommend for your climbing tour. From packing essentials to outdoor gear, hiking supplies, and camping necessities, we’ve got you covered. If you’re still unsure, feel free to ask us for advice on special and additional climbing gear.
