Description

At around 4,000m, Phu was one of our favourite places in Nepal. Remote & wild.

Rumour has it that these villages were built by Tibetans who were driven out of their homeland by the Chinese. Setting themselves up here in Nepal, close to the Tibetan boarder, they became militant and took their resistance fighting over the Tibetan boarder and making trouble for the Chinese invasion of Tibet. This continued for decades, until the Chinese government applied pressure on the Nepali government to have them ousted. Now sparsely inhabited, their ruins lay testament to a hardy folk living a fortified life in a wild, remote, and incredibly harsh landscape.

We were deeply impressed, and moved by this landscape and the people who lived here.
