Mustang just out into the plateau, north of Jomsom and Pokhara. In the capital of Lomanthang an old walled town, undisturbed and untouched civilisation life goes on as it has for centuries.
The numerous Gompas and prayers flags performing their eternal ritual. A trip into Mustang is bound to be one of self-realisation inspired by the all-encompassing teaching of Tibetan Buddhism.
