Tsoboje, also known as Chobuje or Cho Buje, is a mountain in Nepal.
Description Tsoboje is a summit in the Nepalese Himalayas. It is set in the Dolakha District of Bagmati Province. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's slopes drains to the Tamakoshi River via Rolwāliṅ Khola. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 2,125 metres (6,972 ft) above Tsho Rolpa in . The first ascent of the summit was achieved on April 24, 1972, by Wolfgang Weinzierl, Peter Vogler, Gustav Harder, and Klaus Harder via the east ridge/face.

Climate Based on the Köppen climate classification, Tsoboje is located in a tundra climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and cool summers. Weather systems coming off the Bay of Bengal are forced upwards by the Himalaya mountains (orographic lift), causing heavy precipitation in the form of rainfall and snowfall. Mid-June through early-August is the monsoon season. The months of April, May, September, October, and November offer the most favorable weather for viewing or climbing this peak.Drangnag Ri – Climbing, Hiking & Mountaineering information, Mountain Forecast.com, Retrieved April 24, 2025.
