Marpha

About Documentary
This documentary features Marpha, “a tourist destination of Nepal’. It is a village situated in the upper Kali Gandaki Valley and is protected from the strong wind, which blows in the middle of the river valley.  The popular song “Kya ramro Saubari” is also featured in this video. This song was visualized in the localities of Marpha. Click on the picture above to view the documentary.

About Marpha
The village of Marpha is situated in the upper Kali Gandaki valley north of the Himalayan main range. It belongs to an area called Panchgaon in Nepali, which traditionally consisted of five villages. The indigenous population of these five villages in the southern part of Mustang district is the Thakalis, who speak a tibeto-burman language. Among the villages the ethno-cultural setting of Marpha is somewhat unique because the inhabitants of Marpha identify themselves as a distinct ethnical subgroup of Thakalis called Mawatan, or Mawatan Thakali (Vinding, 1998), or simply Marphali. Today the Marphalis still follow their traditional social rules in many respects: group endogamy and the traditional laws of heritage are still practised. Inside their community the Marphalis speak a special dialect of the Thakali language that was studied and well documented by S. Georg (1996). When talking to village outsiders, the multilingual Marphalis speak in Nepali or Tibetan. Nepali is also the official school language. With tourists, Marphali shopkeepers and lodge-owners use English. The village has at present about 650 inhabitants, but many Marphalis have migrated to other places in Nepal, so the absolute number of people identifying themselves as Mawatan Thakalis is higher. The social relations inside the Marphali community, and in particular the relationship between migrants and their traditional home village, are intact and strong.
