A Woman’s Reflections From Tsum Valley

High in Nepal’s Himalaya lies Tsum Valley — a place shaped by faith, tradition, and long-standing ways of life.

The Valley Knows Her Name offers a reflection on the people, culture, and daily life of this Himalayan community, told through the words of Chadani Lama and the photographs of Steve Fagan.

This book is part of the Tsum Valley Project. Further information is available here.
