It's because there's no option beside India. The Geography of Nepal is really harsh. Only 1/3 part of Nepal is plain, remaining are extremely high hills and mountains. India is attached to the southern plains of Nepal, hence there exists a convenient transportation. Recently works are going on to enhance trade with China which will act a great boost to the Nepalese development and economy. The Nepalese government is trying to maintain a trade balance between the two giant nations. Some railways projects has been initiated by the Chinese government but Indian government doesn't want this to happen as they don't have good relationship with China. Also India wants to dominate the Nepalese trade because the fear of Chinese infrastructural investments. It's because of the conflict between these 2 countries, Nepal despite of being resourceful is heading towards development in a very steady way. Let's hope there will a harmonious relationships not only among these 3 countries but among all the South Asian nations especially India though because it has issues with almost all South Asian nations. South Asia has a tremendous potential to become International Superpowers, it's just that the really core of the system hasn't realized it. The government must work unanimously for a better change and citizens like us must be awared of everything going on cuz we are the ones who are responsible for choosing the right government.

No matter how much any community and religion tries , it will come and go. Traditions will live some for few hundred years and some for a millenia and then with the changing world either they will change or die. This is how the world has worked and this is how it will work always. Communities will either adapt to the change or keep getting pissed on things which are beyond their control and these people seem to be adapting to the change very well.

As a Chinese, I have to say his video is very informative and objective. Actually, I 've never learned this history from textbooks.

I love this series, but I hate that we never see the perspective from the other side.

Yep, you cannot apply these "Western concepts " of tradition and culture. I grew up as a pastoralist, life gets tough, its not all grazing livestock and churning butter. This is a narrow view of things, but still it is well explained.

The other side is "move over people, we want to blow up this mountain and get the copper, lithium, and other stuff, go away, here is a nice camp"

Best series so far!

Your approach is quite different, people and culture centered. These videos and your initiative is quite nice and Human. Keep it up 🙂

Thanks for these amazing series, I never knew about such problems which small amount of people are facing!

I love this video. Great cinematography!

The amount of effort in making this video is enormous. Made me subscribe.

Very well made documentary. I was born and raised in Nepal but I never knew this amazing region called Upper Mustang/ Lo Manthang existed until recently and that it was a part our beautiful country. The road accessibility has really put this place on the map. It has promoted domestic tourism, and improved the livelihood of those that live there. It has also allowed people to appreciate how beautiful our country really is. This place no doubt is on the top of my list of places to visit, the next time I make a trip to Nepal.

As an ethnic Chinese, I couldn't imagine the mindset of whom made the decision to enforce that border.

Tibet was a strong exporter of gold, Nepal and China both had frequent trade with Tibet, I believe that it was after Nepal began its expansion campaign Tibet was conquered by China, I guess the borders were made to call it truce between two expansionist country ideals. The people were probably caught in the cross fire. The borders are only visible because China's military strength has grown over the past few years, I personally feel that it shouldn't be exercised at this area as these people do have strong cultural ties with tibet, perhaps someday they'll be able to cross borders without the government stopping them.
