Tukuche
A Thakali village in Nepal's Kali Gandaki Gorge, Tukuche sits east of Tukuche Peak in Mustang District and serves as a cultural centre for the Thakali people, known across Nepal for their distinctive cuisine — particularly the Thakali Khana Set. The village's white-plastered wooden houses and the dramatic gorge setting, with mountain views close at hand, make it a stop on trekking routes through the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri region.
