Dark kitchen of traditional tea house at Ghar Gompa, above Tsarang in Mustang, Nepal

---

The remote Upper Mustang region, formerly the Kingdom of Lo, is now part of Nepal but retains a strongly Tibetan culture. The operator of the traditional tea house at Ghar Gompa also serves as a caretaker for the adjoining monastery and, since the monks are often not in residence, must spend long periods here alone.
