Mustang - the Last Forbidden Tibetan Kingdom

The Buddhist Kingdom of Lo (Mustang): "...the most isolated and unexplored corner of the Himalayas..."; "...a land where the soul of the man is still considered to be as real as the feet he walks on; a land said to be "barren as dead deer" but where beauty and happiness abound in spite of hardships." Michel Peissel (From: MUSTANG - A lost Tibetan Kingdom, 1967)
