Manaslu region...everyone's houses look something like this...although that two story one on the left is much bigger than normal...also the piece of metal roofing means they have access to some money. Many of the houses just have slabs of stone for a roof. The one on the right, you see the brown stuff stuck to the wall...that's mule shit. People pick it up and press it against the walls to dry, it also keeps the path clear...then as it dries, you break it off and burn it in the fire.
Firewood is pretty hard to come by. We're probably 12-15 days walk from a road...very high up, perhaps 12,000 feet?
