| Keywords: batti commerce community footpath tea shop teashop nepal outdoor Date: 1964-02 Location: Salyan, Kaski Description: Two Thakali bhattis (inns) side by side along a main trail northwest of Pokhara. These temporary trail inns were run by Thakali women after the monsoon and before spring planting in their homeland of Thak Khola (Tukuche and Marpha to the north along the Kali Gandaki). Only food and raksi (rice or millet wine) was paid for, no charge for overnight lodging. The bhatti was long and narrow, cooking area in the back. Thakali women are sitting in front of both bhattis. Others along the trail are catching up on news from near and far. During an overnight stay at a bhatti, it was not unusual for there to be singing and drinking late into the night.
