We booked a 2-week trek in Upper Mustang in December 2024 and we were lucky enough that Shankar was our guide.

Read moreWe had an amazing time in Upper Mustang. I’m a documentary photographer and our guide Shankar had gone out of his way to create opportunities for beautiful photographs. He had spoken to the locals and explained what we were doing, putting them at ease and allowing us to get amazing photos.
