As someone who grew up hiking in the Alps, I came to Chhukung Ri expecting a pleasant walk with a nice view. What I got instead was a proper test of endurance at altitude, and one of the finest panoramas I’ve seen anywhere on earth. The route from Chhukung climbs steadily over rock and moraine, and the final scramble to the top rewards you with an unobstructed sightline across the Lhotse-Nuptse wall.
I appreciated that our itinerary built in enough time in Chhukung to acclimatize properly before the ascent, which made a real difference to how strong I felt near the top. Compared to summits I’ve stood on in the Alps, Chhukung Ri holds its own entirely — it simply belongs in a different league of scale and remoteness.
