A walled city at the top of the world: The Nepalese village of Lo Manthang • FRANCE 24 English

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.

Hello, finally the time has come! དུས་ཚོད་སླེབ་སོང། There are university scholars (like me) who say that Shambhala (in the Ngorpa Kalachakra) is the Mongols' Empire in the West of Tibet, (Ngari, Burang, Mustang Lo Mantang.). The Mongol Empire stretched from Kailash to Pakistan, to Irak, to Turkey. Would you like to shoot a film (in Normandy, Verneuil-sur-Avre,) with me about finding (....through the Ngorpa Kalachakra...), Shambhala?

Beautiful! But you know you should put on your map of the neighbouring countries, in the beginning of the clip, not China but "TIBET", right? Because the city you are talking about is all of TIBETAN herritage and tradition, and architecture, and culture, and not Chinese, after all!
