A Portfolio of my Upper Mustang Photos
Julian Elliott
My photos of Upper Mustang will introduce you to this fascinating area of northern Nepal.
Upper Mustang is a wild corner of northern Nepal which points into the Tibet Autonomous Region of China.
Only open to outsiders since 1992, Upper Mustang is a land of untouched culture, which offers visitors a fascinating insight into its untouched Tibetan Buddhism as well as the much earlier Bon Religion.
The region is accessed either by a short flight from Pokhara to Jomsom or a several-hour journey by road.
Those travellers who are willing to make the effort of seeking out and discovering this untamed corner of Nepal will be richly rewarded with views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges. The former provides a rainshadow to the region.
The well-preserved Tibetan culture of Upper Mustang, or Forbidden Kingdom as it’s also known, is an especially fascinating aspect of this wild area of northern Nepal.
