Marpha is a pretty stone lined village in Mustang district, which has survived the transition to the current time, by catering to trekkers and tourists. Marpha is combined from two different local words “Mar” meaning hard working and “Pha” meaning people. As the people living here are working hard enough to sustain their lifestyle, this place has got its name in a long run.
Tourism and mule rearing are the means of survival for people. The agriculture has become very hard due to the land structure and natural setting. Living here could be harder and harder if this place was not developed as a tourist spot. The village now is called the apple capital in Nepal. With abundance number of production of apple, local businessman utilize those apples in brewing wine, jams and others. This has uplifted the living standard and lifestyle of the local.
Dominating the village is Nyingma monastery from which there are good views of the village and the Gandaki River valley. Above the monastery is a Chorten painted onto the cliff face and a number of small stone chortens on the ledges below. Legend saya that the villagers became afflicted with leprosy and all attempts to control it had failed. A local monk, originally from Tukuche, south of Marpha, advised the villagers to build the chorten and hold religious rituals at the site. Since that time the leprosy stopped and Marpha flourished once more.
