Mustang lies on "the roof of the world", in the north of Nepal and surrounded on three sides by Chinese-held Tibet. Foreigners were forbidden to enter the territory and virtually nothing was known about its people and their civilisation until in 1964 Tibetan speaking Michel Peissel obtained permission to make a long stay there.
