Weaving Looms

Another one of the influences from Tibet, weaving looms can be seen in action in the Himalayas. These looms are used mainly to make Tibetan rugs which demand a high price and nowadays has been commercialized in Kathmandu as well. These rugs are much sought after in European countries and are exported with healthy margins. In the trekking trails you will not see modern looms that are used in factories in Kathmandu, what you will see are the looms in its primitive and simple forms made entirely out of wood and ropes.
