Abstract
This paper is related to the conservation activities related to the cultural heritages of
Upper Mustang in general and Lo Tsho Dun in particular in reference to the case
studies of Lo Manthang, Tsarang, Tsho Sar and Tsho nub (Chonub), Dhe Tangye,
Gami-Gelung and Yar-ra Gara Dhi villages of Lo. These villages are selected for this
paper due to their antiquity of history and the Buddhist cultural practice of Tibetan
Buddhism with their linguistic similarity. This paper is based on the travel made by
the researcher under the grant of HimalAsia Foundation while participating in a
sequel of the International Symposium/ Workshop on “Safeguarding Lo Manthang
and the Cultural Heritage of Upper Mustang” being organized regularly by HimalAsia
Foundation under UNESCO and Department of Archaeology for last three years. This
workshop was conducted as the third workshop under the theme of Mustang and a
continuation of the previous workshop/ Seminars, which is related to the conservation
of the tangible and intangible cultural heritages of Upper Mustang. This seminary
work is an important activity for the understanding of the nature of conservation and
preservation of the cultural heritage of Mustang and Lo Manthang.
