MUSTANG, NEPAL

near Lo Manthang

The people of Lo are Tibetan in culture. This tent is the traditional shape of Tibetan tents but it is made from less traditional materials. The black top-piece is made from hand spun yak wool, the material that used comprise the whole tent. In this example the bottom white material is canvas, lighter and more convenient, especially in summertime.

What is very typical in this view is the picnic atmosphere, with a group sitting out eating and drinking. These are very favourite Tibetan pastimes!

This view is an hour out of the capital, Lo Manthang.
