At this time, members of the Nepali mercantile community travelled across borders to trade their wares. Based on historical records, and in stark contrast to Nepal’s current over-reliance on India for trade, Nepali trade used to be much more Tibet oriented. As historian Ludwig Stiller writes in The Rise of the House of Gorkha, “The trade of the valley was largely Tibet-oriented, dealing with Lhasa and points along the Kathmandu Valley-Lhasa trade route. It was in this northern trade that the major profits were to be found.” Newari mercantilists were the primary business agents in the Trans-Himalayan trade. An account by anthropologist Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf tells that people of the Uray caste held a trading monopoly with Tibet. The account also mentions of a small Newar colony in Lhasa.
