Nilgiri Peak, Kagbeni Mustang

The fascinating and beautiful village of Kagbeni (2840m). It is one of the oldest settlement in the Himalayas. Kagbeni is found upstream on the Kali Gandaki, on the road/trail to Lo Manthang.

It lies in the popular Annapurna Circuit Trekroute and is a gateway to Upper Mustang. It is a fascinating medieval village with closely packed mud brick houses, dark alleys and imposing Chhortens.

This painting captures the Kali Gandaki River and rice fields near Kagbeni and the glorious Mt. Nilgiri as a backdrop during sunset.
