In pictures: Nepal village life
Trading village

Manang lies north of the Himalayas in central Nepal and was virtually closed to outsiders until the 1970s. It is one of only two districts untouched by Nepal's Maoist insurgency.

Special trading rights mean Manangis have long travelled through Asia. The Manang Culture Museum has just opened.
