The Loba
The Dying Kingdom
Most of the world has been explored but hidden away in remote locations, there are still societies of people whose lives are very different from those of living with "modern" comforts—the mysterious Loba of Nepal are one such society.
Where Do They Live?
Deep in the Himalayas, is where you'll find the Loba homeland: Mustang (pronounced “moo stong”). It is a barren place in the canyon formed by the Kali Gandaki River. Villages lie along this canyon and the river and some mountain streams feed small green valleys in the area.
Mustang (Pronounced “Moo Stong”)
Mustang is located in Nepal and is considered a “semi-autonomous” region, meaning it mostly governs itself rather than being governed by the larger Nepalese government. Mustang is located between Tibet and the Annapurna range of the Himalayas.

A Kingdom High Above The World
The Himalayas are known to be home to the highest mountain on Earth, Mount Everest. Mustang sits quite high up itself, the majority of the area being about 4,500 feet above sea level.
