Marpha
'''Marpha ''' is a village development committee in Mustang District in the Dhawalagiri Zone of northern Nepal. At the time of the 1991 Nepal census it had a population of 1630 people living in 434 individual households.
The name itself reflects the "mar" meaning hard working and "pha" meaning people. Tourism and mule rearing are the means of survival of the people of this place.
The village is the apple capital in the nation, with Marpha brandy and jams produced from local fruits.
The village is a common overnight halt on the Annapurna Circuit, less crowded and touristy than Jomsom to the north.
