FRANCE 24 English published this video item, entitled “A walled city at the top of the world: The Nepalese village of Lo Manthang • FRANCE 24 English” – below is their description.
Nestled among some of the tallest ridges in the world is the former kingdom of Mustang. This Nepalese region of the Himalayas is home to Lo Manthang, a fortified city that has been resisting time and invaders since the 14th century. In this remote village, the power supply is limited and firewood is scarce. Some locals want a €400 permit required for visitors to be scrapped, so that tourism and their fragile economy can bloom. Our France 2 colleagues report, with FRANCE 24’s Camille Nedelec.
