It is a relatively easy trekking peak with a height of 5,546m, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a challenging but non-technical climb. this rocky peak is located above the village of Chhukung in the Everest (Khumbu) Region of Nepal. The trek takes about 3-4 hours of lung-busting effort and is located to the north of Chhukung. People who are climbing Imja Tse often use this trip as an acclimatization trip, especially if they haven’t been to Everest Base Camp and Kala Pattar yet.

Although small by Himalayan standards, the peak does not require any technical expertise, just stamina. However, we believe it should be on the list of a lot more people who hike to Everest Base Camp. This is because it offers fantastic views of Imja Tse, Ama Dablam, Makalu, and Nuptse that can’t be accessed anywhere else.

From here, you can’t see Everest, which is probably the main reason why Chhukung Ri is quieter than Kala Pattar and Gokyo Ri. The Chukung Ri climb (5550m/18,208ft), the Chhukung adventure combines the magnificent Chhukung valley with the thrill of climbing Chukung Ri, as well as the beauty of the Khumbu region with its spectacular landscapes, exquisite flora, and warm locals.
