LOWER MUSTANG
A Land of Lamas and Buddhism
by Elen Turner
“Kag, I was later
to discover, had in
the past been an
important fortress
town, one of the most
advanced bastions
of the Kingdom of
Mustang. The sight
of it showed that we
had now left behind
all contact with the
Nepalese Hindu world
and had entered the
land of lamas and
Buddhism.”
