Caption: Spectacular mountain formations above 2500m of Mustang along the banks of river Kali Gandaki tributaries on the way to Upper Mustang are mainly composed of rock and sand. These natural master pieces might look different in terms of size, shape and colors at different times because the geological formations keep changing due to strong wind pressure.

Title: Lo Manthang Chortens, Upper Mustang

Caption: Chortens are an important religious monument in Buddhism, symbolizing Buddha’s presence which holds precious Buddhist relics and sometimes even preserved bodies of renowned lamas. Buddists believe that performing Koras of the monument is an act of high merit. Chortens are found in almost every location: along the road, in continuation of a mani wall (aka malding), in the center of villages, on hillocks are along ridges that define an edge or border. Most of these may be classified as votive offerings to protect a territory and as such they are in most cases grouped in rows or three and collective called Rigsum Gonpo.

Title: Upper Mustang

Caption: With the ongoing construction of a road through Mustang that connects China with Nepal at the Kora La Pass, the region is seeking to regain its strategic location. For centuries caravans roamed the Kali Gandaki between Tibet, China and India, with salt, yak wool, cereals, dried meat spices and other goods. But since the road building is mostly completed it has become the most accessible Himalayan corridor and Mustang is inevitably changing. Many locals are happy with the road because it only made daily necessities and food easier and cheaper while some inhabitants of Mustang despite understanding the importance of the road they also fear the loss of their culture and identity.

Title: Woman Wears Bulaki, a Gold Nose Dangle

Caption: Bulaki is a golded nose pin or nose dangler that hole pierces through the septum until the lower lip. It’s mainly worn by married women of Limbu, Magar, Gurung and Thami communities. They come in varied designs and sizes and corresponds to the diversity of the place and people. The tradition of wearing this beautiful piece of ornament is slowly fading away as only elderly women from Eastern or Far Western Nepal are seen donning it as their everyday jewelry. While youths wear it occasionally and only to match their traditional outfit during celebrations. In some ethnic groups, when a women dies her Bulaki is unpinned and placed into her mouth before the death rites. It is believed that the ritual helps expedite the salvation process.

Title: A Newar House of Bhaktapur

Caption: The Aagam Dyo Chhen is a "god's house" (Dyo means God, and Chhen means a house) located immediately to the north of Bhaktapur's Tachapal Tol square. The house incorporates multiple toranas, a gajur (pinnacle) on the roof, and stone lions flanking the main entrance. The upper-level brackets are also carved—quite beautifully—in the likeness of various female deities; possibly, the various mother goddesses (Astamatrikas), though the author has been unable to confirm their exact identities. Although ostensibly a protected site (a World Heritage marker is placed in front of the building), it remains occupied by residents, and the interior is not open to the public.
