Chaukhamba I is the highest peak in the massif and the 29th highest peak in India. It was first climbed in 1952 by a Japanese expedition led by Y. Takiguchi. The peak is considered a challenging climb due to its steep, technical terrain and unpredictable weather conditions.

It is a popular trekking destination and offers stunning views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks and glaciers. The nearest town to the massif is Joshimath, which serves as a base camp for trekkers and climbers.
