Annapurna Tukuche Peak Climbing - 19 Days

Tukuche Peak (6920 m) is one of the outstanding peak positioned in the western Himalayas of Nepal sandwiched between the Dhaulagiri and the Annapurna ranges. This peak was first ascended by the Swiss team in 1969. It is a challenging peak with exciting trekking trail. As this peak is located in a remote region, only a few summiteers have had attempted this climbing expedition. Nonetheless, it is one of the best peaks in Nepal to witness different ranges of Annapurna, Nilgiri and the Tukuche Peak itself. Other features en-route is views of the stunning village of Marpha, Tukuche, Syang and spectacular view of the Jomsom valley.
