The trek

A high, cold expedition to the 6,546 m summit of Chalung in the Rupshu region of eastern Ladakh. (Pricing to be confirmed.)

Chalung is a 6,546 m peak in the remote Rupshu region of eastern Ladakh, one of the high, cold summits that ring the Changthang plateau near Tso Moriri. Seldom visited and demanding, it is a serious high-altitude expedition across nomad grazing grounds, moraine and glacier, rewarded with a summit view over an immense and empty high-desert landscape.

The climb requires strong prior acclimatisation, roped glacier travel and endurance in the bitter cold and thin air of the Rupshu. This is a placeholder listing seeded ahead of pricing — the route and dates will be finalised before it goes on sale.

Highlights

  • A remote 6,546 m summit in the Rupshu region
  • The high-desert plateau and lakes of the Changthang
