Stanley ReavisUSA
And I Made IT!!
I already had short trekking experiences in Nepal. This time I wanted something big, so I contacted the Nepal Guide Treks and Expeditions manager, my friend. He advised me to have some expedition experience with them.
He offered me three destinations, among which I chose Tukuche Peak Expedition. Indeed, the decision of my life.
Professional guides had well-organized the entire expedition. Mainly thanks to my personal guide, who knows all the unique spots, the best teahouse, and all the essential information for the trip.
Peak climbing has both technical and non-technical climbing, including ice climbing, steep ridges, and rock climbing. From the summit point, you can have a panorama view of the Dhaulagiri Range, Annapurna Range, and Nilgiri Himal.
Without any doubt, I would choose Nepal Guide Treks and Expeditions over and over again.

AWESOME CLIMB of Tukuche Peak with ‘Nepal Guide Treks and Expeditions’
We are two boys from France, who found Tukuche Peak climbing on the internet. We booked the trip and came to Nepal. From the moment we stepped out of the airport we were taken well care by the representatives of Nepal Guide Treks and Expeditions. So, we felt very safe and secure in their company. Trekking was awesome, we had enough time to explore the wide variety of animals and plants. Now, the most exciting part was the climb itself.
Our climbing guide was Ang-Dawa Sherpa who is full of technical climbing knowledge. Seriously, we learned a lot from him during our climbing training sessions. Following his instructions, we head to the summit. Once at the top, it was a pin drop silence, everyone was hearing the wind and looking at the mountain valleys. It was incredible. We will surely come back to do more climbing later, but in the meantime we recommend Nepal Guide Treks for top class service related to trekking, climbing and other adventure related activities.
Greets,

Feeling Awesome @ Tukuche Peak
We have just completed our climbing trek of Tukuche Peak together with Nepal Guide Treks and Expeditions. Many thanks to the NGT team who took care of us even before and after the trip ended. The whole team is serious, loyal and possess a huge amount of willingness to reach the target. Our guide was Dendi Sherpa – a wise climber. His knowledge about overcoming technical sections led us to the summit of Tukuche Peak. We cannot actually describe the feeling at the top, but it really felt incredible. We want to thank every single helping hand who made this trip successful. We will for sure come back to do more climbing with Nepal Guide Treks and Expeditions.
Wishing you luck in future !!
