Doko (basket)

Doko (Nepali: डोको pronounced [ɖoko]) is a kind of basket made from bamboo.

Dokos are especially used by porters to carry goods in Nepal, Bhutan and northern India's mountainous Sikkim and Uttarakhand states.

Where there are no motor roads, special oversized dokos are used to transport people unable to walk.

Blind people are trained for doko production to earn their livelihood in Nepal.

In almost every rural area of Nepal the doko is utilized as a common tool for carrying heavy loads.
