Named
after the blue-grey sheep that still roam the area, the village, Nar,
is a tightly-knit cluster of stone houses set amidst fertile terraces
of land surrounded by steep mountains.
Phu
village is located further northern part of Manang in the shadow of
craggy cliffs interspersed with lush green pine and juniper forests.
In Nar, there are 300 inhabitants while Phu is about 150 inhabitants.
Both the villages are largely depend on the yak herding and are Bhotia
people. Bhotias' believe in the Buddhist religion and the region is
similar to Tibetan plateau. The region is connected by Kang La pass
