Nepal 2013 - Mustang

Mustang is the former Kingdom of Lo where Tibetan is still widely spoken and the traditional culture of Tibet remains. Mustang has an average elevation of 13,200ft and is located to the north of the mountain giants of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna and is therefore north of the main Himalayan range and geographically is part of the highlands of Tibet. It is a vast high arid valley, characterised by eroded canyons, colourful stratified rock formations and has a barren, desert-like appearance.
