Summay
Mustang is a district in Nepal, but it lies north of the main Himalayan chain, on the Tibetan plateau. Tibetan Buddhist temples were built in Mustang and adorned with magnificent wall paintings, and they survive today when much of the architecture and art of Tibet itself was lost during the Chinese Culture Revolution from 1966 to 1976.
