Its peak rises about 42 km to the west-southwest of the village of Tschara , which is located in the sparsely populated Upper Charas Basin and passed by the Tschara River , and is the administrative center of the Buryat Kalarsky Rajon ; About 10 km (as the crow flies ) south of it, in the same river valley as the Novaya Chara (with the railway station) on the Baikal-Amur mainline (BAM), lies the largest town in Kalarski.

The Upper Sakukan rises a little to the west of the partly glaciated Pik BAM and the Middle Sakukan to the north, which pass the mountain in the south and northeast, flow to the east and flow into the Tschara. The Lednikowaja flows from a glacier in the north as a small tributary of the Sygykta .
