Mt. Sita Chuchura 6,611 meter is located very closed to Dhaulagiri Himalayan range and it is not far from the French Pass from where people do the trek crossing the passes. This peak was successfully climbed only 4 times and the first ascent was done by a Japanese expedition - Masahiko Takahashi, Hiroshi Harada, Nobuyki Hirato and Phurba Kitar Sherpa on October 26, 1970 and last time was in 1995. Mount Sita Chuchura expedition can be done within 21 days via Jomsom side and 30 days Dhaulagiri French Pass including Kathmandu stay. Sita Chuchura is a beautiful mountain for mountaineering activities, which always attract the mountain voyager to climb which start from Pokhara and Beni Bazar to the Sita Chuchura Base Camp and finish at Jomsom from where we can take flight back to Pokhara nd drive to Kathmandu.
