Photojournale : Photo documentary and photo journal stories from around the world - The once forbidden Kingdom of Mustang | The other Tibet http://bladepicturecompany.com/categories.php?cat_id=281
Still today, the modern civilization remains afar to its people and life in Upper Mustang goes on as it has for centuries in unhurried pace. The civilization surrounds its lifestyle with Tibetan Buddhism and villages have monasteries cloaked in the smoke and aroma of butter lamps. But the scene is changing, as Upper Mustang is slowly beginning to feel the influence of the outside world because of a new highway which will connect the region to Kathmandu and China (Lhasa, TAR) for the first time, steering in a new age of modernism that will change Upper Mustang's villages forever as well as threaten the pure Tibetan culture, lifestyle and Tibetan Buddhism. The struggle is for its people to preserve its own ancient culture.

The photojournal gives a glimpse into former kingdom of Lo or Mustang�s culture, landscape, Buddhist lifestyle in the region.
