Himalayan Batiks<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

This industry was established during the 1980s.<\/p>\n

All of the batik producers have at one time been marginalised through disability, poverty or social prejudice. Working with Himalayan Batiks has helped them to become economically self-sufficient. The industry produces a range of almost 350 batiks in the form of wall hangings, greetings cards, bookmarks and pictures. These batiks are exported to many countries.<\/p>\n
