Location: Kagbeni, Mustang
Description: Loba (Mustang Bhotiya) mother and child spinning wool on their first floor roof, accessed by a carved log ladder. Roofs were used for a household work area as well as for stacking wood and brush for fuel. As an old fortress town there were many taller structures built with thick stone walls having few windows. This also provided protection from the elements, especially wind and cold weather.
