Manaslu 02 04 Low Land Houses  [16 of 47]


In the lower hills of Nepal the houses are all built in more variety than in the high country, but they still follow the same principles. They are two stories high with a sloping hay or wooden roof, the walls are white washed and partly painted orange. The orange color is made of cow dung and red clay and applied regularly. Often large banana trees or bamboo surround the house, giving welcome shade on hot days. A small stable for cows or goats can be found a few metres away from the living quarters.
