As you can see in this picture, the houses in the village of Purang, Nepal have mud roofs that can last several years due to the lack of rain in this region. Mud roofs also control the temperature inside the house.Located southwest of Tibet, Purang covers a total area of 12,497 sq km (4,825 sq miles) and has a population of over 7,000. It is quite ordinary to come across Indian and Nepalese people in Purang. As a frontier county bordering India and Nepal, Purang is the only pass for pilgrims to worship at nearby Hindu holy sites, Mt. Kailash and Lake Manasarovar. In addition, its traditional frontier market, which has a history of more than 500 years, attracts many foreigners to do business here.
