tukuche<\/a> Peak (6,920m \/ 22,703 ft) is an expedition peak in the Dhaulagiri region of north-central Nepal, located between the Dhaulagiri (8,167m) and Annapurna (8,091m) massifs, immediately north of the village of mara<\/a> in the Kali Gandaki valley. The peak lies at approximately 28 degrees 31 minutes north latitude and 83 degrees 39 minutes east longitude, in the Annapurna Conservation Area. Tukuche Peak was first climbed in 1969 by a Swiss expedition led by Kurt Diemberger, via the north-east ridge. The mountain is classified as an expedition peak requiring a climbing permit from the Ministry of Tourism.\n\nThe standard route climbs the north-east ridge, with Base Camp at approximately 5,100m on a high shelf above Marpha. The route establishes two high camps: Camp 1 at 5,600m on the lower north-east ridge and Camp 2 at 6,100m on the upper ridge. The summit push from Camp 2 involves climbing 40-50 degree snow slopes with some short ice pitches on the upper mountain, with the final section traversing an exposed summit ridge to the top. The technical difficulty is rated AD on the Alpine grading system, similar to other 7,000m expedition peaks.\n\nTukuche Peak is one of the most scenically located expedition peaks in Nepal due to its location between two 8,000m ranges. The summit offers simultaneous views of Dhaulagiri (8,167m), the world seventh-highest mountain, and the entire Annapurna range, including Annapurna I (8,091m), Annapurna II (7,937m), and Annapurna South (7,219m). The mountain also offers views of Nilgiri (7,061m), the dramatic Kali Gandaki gorge (the deepest gorge in the world), and the distant Tibetan plateau. The mountain is significantly less crowded than other expedition peaks due to its technical nature and remote location.\n\nThe approach follows the classic Annapurna Circuit route through the Kali Gandaki valley, with a flight to joven<\/a> and a short trek to Marpha. The region is culturally Tibetan Buddhist Thakali homeland, with traditional apple orchards, ancient gompas, and the famous Marpha apple brandy. The best climbing seasons are spring (April-May) and autumn (October-November), with autumn being more popular for Tukuche due to more stable snow conditions on the upper mountain.<\/p>\n","cost_includes":"All airport pickups and drops in private vehicle\nKathmandu hotel (3 nights, B&B) with welcome and farewell dinners\nDomestic flights where applicable to itinerary\nAll ground transport in private vehicle\nAll necessary permits (TIMS, National Park, Conservation Area, Restricted Area where applicable)\nThree meals daily (BLD) during the trek with tea\/coffee\nTea house or camping accommodation during the trek\nExperienced English-speaking trekking guide and assistant guide for groups of 6+\nPorters (1 per 2 trekkers, 15kg luggage allowance) with full insurance\nSleeping bag, down jacket, and duffel bag (refundable deposit)\nFirst-aid kit, pulse oximeter, and emergency oxygen\nSatellite phone for emergency communications\nAll government and local taxes\nClimbing permit fee (Ministry of Tourism)\nGarbage deposit and liaison officer fee\nClimbing guide (Sherpa, IFMGA-trained)\nHigh-altitude climbing Sherpa (1:2 ratio on summit day)\nClimbing equipment (crampons, ice axe, harness, helmet, ropes, carabiners, jumars, prusiks)\nHigh camp tents and cooking equipment\nOxygen cylinders for emergency (5+ bottles)\nGamow bag for altitude sickness\nSatellite phone for emergency communication\nBase camp services with full kitchen crew and dining tent","cost_excludes":"International airfare to and from Kathmandu\nNepal visa fee (USD 30 for 15 days, USD 50 for 30 days)\nTravel and high-altitude rescue insurance (mandatory)\nPersonal trekking gear and clothing\nHot showers, Wi-Fi, device charging, and alcoholic beverages\nLunch and dinner in Kathmandu\nTips for guide, porter, and driver (recommended 10-15% of trip cost)\nCosts from unforeseen events (weather, flight delays, route changes)","itineraries":[{"title":"Llegada a Katmand\u00fa","content":"\n
