The Culture of Annapurna Region.

When you trek in the Annapurna region you will see many fascinating ways of life and ancient cultural and religious sites and activities. However, whilst on the trek, there is very little information available to satisfy the curious. The information here is a summary of the anthropological research undertaken in the region, as well as a basic explanation of the religions of the region. Sources of further reading may be found in the bibliography.
The culture of the Annapurna region stems from its peoples, their ancestral origin, and their religions. The people of this region migrated here from Tibet in times long ago. They arrived at different times from different regions, bring different religions. There are at least 3 main groups and 3 separate religions. These peoples and religions coexist for the most part happily.
