Geographically the kingdom of Nepal may be divided into four regions: the area of high peaks and northern plateau; the hilly area; the Kathmandu Valley and the low-lying forested belt bordering India. On the basis of firsthand experience, little has been published about village life in the western hilly region and nothing about how these villages have responded to recent developments of intensification of trade, educational advances, and government-stimulated change. To throw some light on these questions, this article will analyze data drawn from a single village in the hills south of Annapurna Himal. Specifically, I ask: What changes have occurred in the village and the area adjacent to it during the lifetime of those who control village affairs? Two trends will be pointed to as having special significance for the future
