Tukuche was once a major trading town. The name means "grain flat spot," a reference to the trading function. The river was once the "salt route." Salt from Tibetan salt lakes was traded for grain. Indian salt eventually replaced the Tibetan salt and ended the trade. Tukuche declined and even with tourism, it hasn't really recovered. |
