| Upper Mustang |
Although politically part of Nepal, Upper Mustang is linked by religion, culture, and history to Tibet – and now stands alone as one of the last truly pure Tibetan cultures existing today. With its untouched temples, colorful festivals and red-robed lamas, the kingdom preserves not only the daily vernacular of Buddhist ethics, but a unique heritage of Tibetanreligious art. ... In 1992 restrictions were eased, and the long-forbidden kingdom was cautiously unlocked.
Nestling like the missing piece of a jigsaw puzzle into the borders of Western Tibet, the tiny kingdom of Mustang occupies 780 square miles in the upper valley of the Kali Ghandaki River, to the north of the Himalayan massif.
