Chamlang is a mountain in the Nepalese Himalayas, near Makalu. It lies in the southern section of the Mahalangur subrange of the Himalayas. Chamlang has an elevation of 7,319 metres (24,012 ft).


In 2021 a new, direct line up the sheer north face was climbed by two French mountain guides, Charles Dubouloz and Benjamin Vedrines. Climbing just as a pair, the route, which they named 'In the Shadow of Lies', took them four days to complete and included ice up to 90°.[4]
