I climbed Chhukung Ri as an add-on to the Everest Base Camp trek, and it turned out to be the highlight of the entire trip. The trail from Chhukung is short in distance but relentless in gradient, winding through loose scree and frozen ground before opening onto a ridge with a jaw-dropping 360-degree view. Seeing Island Peak so close, with Makalu visible in the distance, was a moment I will carry with me forever.
The support from our trekking team made all the difference – proper rest days in Chhukung, warm tea waiting at the lodge, and honest advice about turning back if altitude sickness set in. I never needed to. For anyone debating whether to add this side trip to their itinerary, my answer is simple: do not skip Chhukung Ri.
