Mustang, Nepal
In the Mustang region – at approx. 3000 MASL – lies a place so remote and isolated that it doesn’t even have a name. It is here that we met up with Deepak, a shepherd who lives in a modest stone hut, perched on the mountain. The nearest village is an hour and a half’s walk uphill and his house has no electricity, water or heating. However, Deepak lives here with his wife, two young children and around 200 goats. Every morning without fail, he takes the herd out to pasture, whilst keeping an eye out for dangerous snow leopard attacks.
