302 Tukuche Entrance, Mani Wall, Carved Wooden Balcony, Jerome Ryan Drinking A Coke  [17 of 23]


UL Tukuche (2580m) was for many years one of the richest villages in the Kali Gandaki valley. “The village of Tukucha is a maze of alleys, and the houses, regular little fortresses, are mostly caravanserais where passing travelers can find lodging for the night” (Maurice Herzog, Annapurna). UR “The majority of the five hundred inhabitants are Buddhists whose piety can be judged by the number of prayer wheels on the fifty-yard-long wall” (Maurice Herzog, Annapurna). LL Tukuche has finely carved wooden balconies looking exactly as they did in 1950. LR Jerome Ryan stopped in Tukuche and enjoyed a coke in the sunny warm weather
