The Mustang, also known as the "kingdom of Lo 'is one of the most isolated and least known of the Himalayas. Located a hundred kilometers north of the mountain massif of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri, the territory that covers the tiny feudal kingdom appears, if you look at a map, as a sort of peninsula that penetrates into the occupied Tibet Chinese. Since
has no avenues with modern methods, but only paths that go up and down the high steps that connect the valley with another, this region can be visited only on foot.
To achieve Manthang, the capital the kingdom, situated at an altitude of about 3800 meters, are required at least 12 days of travel. The starting point for the Mustang Heritage is a village situated about seventy miles northwest of Pokhara, Nepal.

Voglio ringraziare anche Federica Baraglini, Davide Sciandra e Luigi Fieni, straordinari restauratori di monasteri himalayani, nonché persone preziose e sensibili, per il calore con cui ci hanno accolto a Lo Manthang, per i loro racconti e per aver squarciato in parte il nostro velo di ignoranza su questa regione, sul suo popolo e sulle sue tradizioni.
