Lao PDR - Rural life - Freshly harvested bundles of grass drying in a remote Akha Nuquie village with traditional grass roofed houses

Show Navigation

Freshly harvested bundles of grass drying in an Akha Nuquie village in remote and roadless Ban Peryenxangmai village, Phongsaly province, Lao PDR. Lying in a cleared patch of the surrounding forest, typical Akha villages have houses which are made of bamboo and wood with thatched roofs and house 'horns' although increasingly houses now have corregated iron roofs. The Akha favour remote locations above the plains and valleys, generally 1000-1500m high where there is plenty of forest cover.
