Mt. Abi lies in the Mahalangur range of the Everest Region. The peak stands at a height of 6, 097meters. The mountain is also known as Cholo and also by Kangchung from the pass that reaches it - the Kangchung La. Moutaineers planning to climb the 8,000ers consider Mt. Abi as a perfect training mountain for ice climbing and high altitude acclimatization. However, this 6, 000 itself requires careful ascent due to the technical ridges toward its peak.
Mt. Abi falls in the category A of the NMA’s Climbing Peaks.
