Nepal Rugs

Nepal rug - knotted on the roof of the world

Nepal, the "roof of the world" is a small country bordering China to the north and India to the south. A large part of the country is occupied by the mighty Himalayan Mountains and culminates in the highest mountain in the world: Mount Everest. The excellent new wool of the highland sheep is processed into particularly woolly and soft rugs. These are mostly monochrome without any eye-catching design. Their quality has improved significantly in recent years. Originally Nepalese rugs were particularly thick and gave off a lot of wool in the early days of their use. However, this has changed significantly due to an improved and tighter weave, so that today they offer a plain alternative to the otherwise colorful oriental rugs.

History of rug making in Nepal

The Nepalese rug tradition is young. It began with the Chinese occupation of Tibet, when thousands of refugees came to Nepal. Currently, there are around 500,000 Nepalese working in the rug industry. Rugs and knotting in general have become the country's main exports, bringing even more foreign currency to Nepal than tourism. Nepal is now considered the best source for custom made rugs and rugs of very high quality.
