Village & Culture

Marpha Village

Marpha is a classic Mustang village famous for its whitewashed houses, stone-paved streets and the beautiful apple orchards that surround the settlement. The village is deeply rooted in Thakali culture, with warm hospitality, distinctive food traditions and a relaxed atmosphere that contrasts with the more dramatic high-altitude landscapes of the region. The combination of heritage architecture, peaceful surroundings and mountain scenery makes Marpha an especially rewarding place to slow down and experience local life in Upper Mustang.
