This might just be the most remote museum you’ll ever visit. The small town of Kagbeni, in Lower Mustang and about an hour’s drive from Jomsom, is the last place that travellers without a pricey Upper Mustang permit are permitted to stay. The recently renovated Red House Lodge has been used for various purposes throughout its history, including a nunnery. The current owners of the distinctive red, grey and white-striped lodge have committed to preserving and displaying art and artifacts from the stunning region at the foot of the Himalaya. Tibetan prayer wheels, thangka paintings, murals, brass kitchenware, local fossils (yes, fossils high up in the Himalaya!) and a large Buddha statue in a dedicated room are displayed throughout the building. You don’t need to be staying here to visit the gallery and museum. Trekkers completing the Annapurna Circuit may especially enjoy the change of pace here!
