the Red Cliffs, Trangmar Mustang, Nepal

Trangmar Mustang, Nepal

The village of Trangmar comes near the end of the Mustang trek. The beauty of this place comes as a refreshing surprise. After trekking through dry uplands, a region of space and wide vistas, you arrive quite suddenly at a prominent gap in trail. Below is a land of fertility and green lushness; a grassy valley strewn with wildflowers and ripening barley.
The village snuggles under these red-streaked cliffs. Like so many Tibetan geographic names, the word describes the scene. Trangmar means 'cliff red'.
