The Tukuche Peak expedition also begins in the picturesque town of Pokhara. A team of seasoned climbers assembles to embark on this arduous journey. With meticulous planning and unwavering determination, the climbers set off, venturing through awe-inspiring valleys, cascading rivers, and dense rhododendron forests. As the expedition gains altitude, the landscape transforms into a pristine white wonderland. It is also covered by snow-covered slopes and icy ridges that test the climbers’ skills and endurance.
Tukuche Peak, standing proudly at an elevation of 6,920 meters. It is also beckons adventurers from around the world. Embark on an extraordinary expedition in the heart of the majestic Annapurna region of Nepal. This formidable mountain, also nestled amidst the breathtaking Himalayas, offers a thrilling challenge for mountaineers seeking an unforgettable experience.
Ascending Tukuche Peak demands technical proficiency and a resilient spirit. The team tackles treacherous icefalls, steep icy slopes, and challenging rock formations with the aid of ropes, ice axes, and crampons. Every step forward is a testament to the climbers’ unwavering determination and their trust in each other’s abilities. The summit push is a culmination of their months-long training and preparation, as they battle against biting cold, thinning air, and the sheer physical and mental strain of high-altitude climbing.
Reaching the summit of Tukuche Peak is a moment of triumph, an overwhelming sense of achievement that washes over the climbers. Standing atop the peak, they are rewarded with unparalleled panoramic views of the surrounding Himalayan giants, including the iconic Dhaulagiri and Annapurna massifs. The beauty and serenity of the vast snow-capped peaks and the vastness of the Himalayan expanse beneath their feet serve as a poignant reminder of the indomitable power of nature.
However, the expedition does not end at the summit. Descending safely is equally crucial and demands utmost focus and skill. The climbers carefully navigate their way back to base camp, bidding farewell to the awe-inspiring Tukuche Peak and leaving behind footprints of their remarkable endeavor.
The Tukuche Peak expedition is not merely a conquest of a mountain. It is also an immersive journey that pushes climbers to their limits, fosters camaraderie among teammates.

Our representative from Everest Expeditions Nepal will meet you at Tribhuvan International Airport on your arrival schedule. You will be greeted and then transferred to the hotel in the heart of Kathmandu city. Our staff will help you until the check-in procedure ends at Hotel. You can either have a rest at the Hotel. In the evening, join our welcome dinner program organized by Everest Expeditions Nepal.
Today we will spend most of our day sightseeing around some of the world heritage sites of UNESCO inside Kathmandu valley. Most importantly we will complete all the necessary paper works and make other preparations required for Tukuche Peak Expedition with Nepal Guide Treks and Expedition. Note: It is not possible to visit all world heritage sites in Kathmandu within a day. So you can choose at least 3-4 places for day sightseeing.
Today we will take a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara which takes about 5 hours of drive journey. Pokhara is a beautiful town set on the banks of the Fewa Lake. Pokhara is tourist’s paradise full of natural as well as cultural heritage sites such as lakes, caves, temples of Buddhist and Hindus along with mountains. It is smaller and much less hectic than Kathmandu. After reaching Pokhara you will be transferred to the hotel for the overnight stay.
After having breakfast, we will take an early morning scenic flight from Pokhara and fly towards Jomsom. Jomsom is an important hub for Mustang and Upper Mustang Treks with the airstrip, tea houses and services. After landing at the airstrip of Jomsom, we will start our trek by following a rather easy trail to Marpha also known as ‘ The Apple Garden ‘. From there we start to ascend steeply until we arrive at the open fields of Yak Kharka. Meals:
Acclimatization is very essential in higher altitudes to avoid mental and physical illness that may arise due to altitude sickness. Also, proper acclimatization is the key to reach our target, a summit of Tukuche Peak. Thus, today we will take a day rest at Yak Kharka. There are a couple of good hike options from Yak Kharka that are considered best for acclimatization.
After spending a good day rest at Yak Kharka, our trail ascends gradually as we enter the Kali Gandaki Valley – the deepest gorge of the world. Our uphill trekking continues as we head towards the crossing of Dhampus Pass at 5,240 meters also known as ‘ Thapa ‘ Pass. From the top of the pass, our trail descends over moderate snow slope towards the Hidden Valley for our overnight camping.
By now we have reached over 5,000 meters above the sea level. So, in order to stay fit both physically and mentally, we will rest at Hidden Valley for acclimatization and exploration. Hidden Valley offers good hike options for its visitors. The best option would be a hike up to the western ridge from where we will have stunning views of Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Nilgiri and the beautiful mountain valleys. We head back to Hidden Valley for overnight camping after a great day’s hike.
After breakfast, we get ready for a short day trekking. Our trail climbs gradually as we trek through harsh alpine vegetation. Our climb can be very tiring, so resting every now and then helps in restoring energy. We will trek until we arrive at a good camping site at 5,640 meters where we will set up our Base Camp. Our Sherpa crew will quickly set up the camps and start making necessary preparations for setting up camps at higher altitudes.
Climbing period Tukuche Peak [6920m/22698ft] and back to Base Camp 11 Days climbing towards Tukuche Peak Tented Camp For several days we keep on doing climbing training practices with proper acclimatization. Our Sherpa team will do all the hard works from setting up the camps, provide healthy meals and fix the routes for reaching the summit. Following the instructions are given by our experienced climbing experts we make a gradual climb. Several camps will be set up above the base camp. In fact, weather conditions play a significant role in predicting and planning our summit climb attempt. Fully equipped with all the climbing gears and properly acclimatized we will tackle several technical climbing sections and climb to conquer the summit of Tukuche Peak. Once at the top we are rewarded with amazing up-close views of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Mountain ranges and other surrounding high peaks. We will spend short quality time at the summit and then start to descend down following the same route back to reach the Base Camp.
After successfully achieving the summit of Tukuche Peak, we begin our return journey by retracing our steps on the same trail that descends downhill for a few hours. With great views of high mountain valleys and surrounding high peaks, we will arrive back to Hidden Valley for our overnight camping.
Trek Lodge From Hidden Valley, we continue to retrace our steps on the same trail that climbs up a moderate snow slope towards the crossing of Dhampus Pass. After successfully crossing the pass we make a steep descend entering into the Kali Gandaki Valley and then make a rather long traverse across the snow which usually takes around four hours before descending down to Yak Kharka.
The last day of our trek starts from Yak Kharka as we follow the main trail that descends for a rather long time to reach the village of Marpha. From Marpha our trail is a rather pleasant and moderate walk all the way back to Jomsom. This is a celebration day after successful completion of Tukuche Peak Expedition with Nepal Guide Treks and Expedition’s team.
Today we will take an early morning scenic flight from Jomsom back to Pokhara. After landing at Pokhara you will be transferred to the hotel. We will spend the rest of the day sightseeing and explore around Pokhara. Boating at Fewa Lake, visiting sacred caves and waterfalls, sightseeing around the city can be the best way to spend your day in Pokhara.
After breakfast, we will take a drive from Pokhara back to Kathmandu which takes approximately four to five hours drive. We will have an opportunity to observe the daily activities of the local people for survival, while our drive journey passes through several market towns and villages. After arriving at Kathmandu, feel free to take a walk around the busy shopping streets of Thamel. In the evening we will celebrate the completion of our Tukuche Peak Expedition and have a final meal together.
