Title: The Early History of Lo (Mustang) and Ngari
Language of title: English
Author/Creator: David Paul Jackson
One Sentence Summary: An article on the history of Lo Mustang (in present-day northern Nepal) and Ngari (western Tibet).

Description: The article starts with the paragraph on Mustang by a Mustangi author. In the native language, Mustang (smon thang) refers only to the small walled capital city of the larger territory of Lo (go bo). Actually Lo's territory embraced all of the upper Kali Gandaki valley, from what is now called Baragaon up to the highest elevations in its watershed. The article also traces some of the history of Ngari. Before Mustang's inclusion into a unified Nepal, the people of Lo considered their land to be a border region of Ngari, a general place name designating most of western Tibet. The author consulted local historiography for the article. (Rajeev Ranjan Singh 2007-01-10)
