Tour Mustang

Click and drag in the image above. En route to the ancient cave temple of Luri, travelers must cross a dry plateau that looks out on the Annapurna mountains in the distance. Dubbed the "Plain of Deception" by our assistant cameraman, Pushpa Tulachan, who is from Mustang, this high plateau is deceptively flat. Although much of it looks level, there is a slight but unrelenting uphill climb across the plain that, because of the high altitude, has been known to tire the most intrepid of visitors. Our camera crew can be seen in its full, exhausted glory: cameraman Ned Johnston, sound recordist Jyoti Rana, and camera assistant Kami Sherpa.
