The Taboche (also Tawoche, Tawache, Tawesche or Tawetse ) is a six-thousand in the Nepalese Himalaya the Himalayas in Nepal not far from Pheriche and Dingboche. He is the most southern mountain on the running from north to south ridge which separates the valley of the river Kosi Ngozumba-Gletschers/Dudh from the valley of the Khumbu Glacier. Its northern neighbor on this comb is the 6440 meter high Cholatse. In the south, beyond the valley of the Imja Khola, is the Ama Dablam.

Sir Edmund Hillary, the first man to climb Mount Everest, also undertook the first, but unsuccessful attempt to climb Taboche. The first ascent was in 1974 a French expedition under the direction of Yannick Seigneur, who was also the composer Jean-Christian Michel. The direct northeast wall was established in February 1989 by Jeff Lowe and John Roskelley defeated in alpine style.
