Description

Chaukhamba is a four-summit massif in Garhwal, India. Wikidata records 7,138 m for its highest point. Expedition reports distinguish Chaukhamba I from III and IV. The 2004 NIM attempt on III and IV ended near 6,300 m because of hazardous conditions. Deoriatal and Chandrashila provide views of the massif without climbing it.
