Trip Overview

Tukuche Peak (6,920 meters) is nestled within the renowned Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Himalayan ranges in western Nepal. It stands as a sentinel before the Annapurna Massif and Mt. Dhaulagiri I, overlooking a pristine hidden valley. While the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri regions are popular for trekking, Tukuche Peak itself sees fewer climbers.

The summit of Tukuche Peak offers awe-inspiring vistas, including panoramic views of the Annapurna range, Mt. Nilgiri, Dhaulagiri, and Tilicho Peak. Situated at an elevation of 6,920 meters (22,703 feet), this remote peak provides a challenging yet rewarding climbing experience. The journey to Tukuche Peak involves a scenic route from Pokhara to Jomsom through the Himalayas.
