Himalayas are the highest mountain in the world, so, despite the fact that
they are located in rather low latitudes, winters in the mountain villages
of the Himalayas are cold. Therefore, the heating of homes is very
important. In the Himalayan homes are used quite primitive
stoves and
fireplaces for cooking and heating, and firewood from the mount forests used
as fuel for them.
Local
people
stockpile
firewood
for the
cold
winter
(sometimes
they down
to the woods,
growing up in
the foothills).
Along the narrow
mountain
paths
people
bring these
firewood
to
their
village.
For whole
winter local people need a lot of fuel.
Free land in mountain villages, located in narrow gorges, is quite a bit.
Therefore, in the Himalayas, people have invented a very unique way to store
firewood. Have a look - firewood store ... on the walls and fences!

On the fences firewood
dry in the bright mountain sun, and, by the way, the fence become
taller. It is important, because in the mountain villages often the roof of
a house is a courtyard to another building.. In this case, a number of firewood on the
edge of the roof is really necessary for security.
