Chukalat (1,280 m), spelled Чукалат in some Bulgarian lists, is a peak on the northern slopes of the Western Rhodopes, about 1.3 km north-west of the village of Skobelevo and 6 km south of Perushtitsa.
The peak rises above the Upper Thracian Plain, between Perushtitsa and Krichim, both about 6 km away. About 1 km north-west of it is the lower Anatema peak (1,176 m).
Beyond its name, height and position, the available sources give no details about the peak, and we found no waymarked route to it.

Hiking boots, layered clothing, water (1.5–2 L per person), sun protection, and a windproof jacket — mountain weather changes quickly. For longer routes also bring a map (paper or offline), a head torch, and emergency rations. Tell someone your planned route and expected return time.
