. . .enigmatic Kunjamuk Cave. This egg-shaped cavity was dug maybe thirty feet straight into exposed bedrock. A skylight lets in sunlight. No one knows who dug the cave, but it was likely mineral prospectors. Iron, graphite, and garnet have been mined nearby. Mike recounted a story that the hermit French Louie would go on drinking binges in the village about twice a year and sleep them off here.

Namgyaling Tibetan Refugee Settlement, more known as Tserok, lies just South of Marpha, close to Jomsom - the administrative center of Mustang, Nepal.
Swedish NGO IM, my employer, has supported this settlement since the 1970's, with a school, a nursery, an Old People's Home, and a Tree Plantation - apples, which the region and Marpha in particular - is famous for.
On Empoweringvision.com Tsering Passang writes the following about this remote settlement:
"When Tibet was invaded by the People’s Republic of China in 1950, His Holiness the Dalai Lama was forced to flee Tibet into exile, after the failed Tibetan National Uprising in Lhasa in March 1959. Some 80,000 Tibetans followed their leader to India. Over the following years, more Tibetans fled into the neighbouring countries including Nepal and Bhutan.
A contingent of dedicated Tibetan freedom fighters, over 2000 volunteers, was regrouped in exile to launch resistance against the China’s illegal rule in Tibet. In the 1960s and early ‘70s, Tibetan resistance fighters, popularly known as “Khampa Guerrillas”, based their covert operation in Mustang, funded by the CIA, from where they conducted military raids into Tibet. A majority of the Tibetan resistance fighters and their families are now resettled in Pokhara and Kathmandu valleys where they have lived since the end of their resistance movement in Mustang in 1974. Mustang is also home to several hundred Tibetan refugees with most of them based in the Lower Mustang (known as Lo-Tserok) Namgyal Ling Tibetan Refugee Settlement."
According to the Tibetan Exile Governments Department of Home:
"This settlement is called Delekling Tibetan settlement. At the time that the refugees in the Solo Khumbu area started the handicrafts center there in 1961 there were about 6000 refugees in the whole khumbu area. This number has gradually decreased over the years as many of the refugees have left for Kathmandu and India. At present there are only 657 refugees in this area including the workers at the handicraft center.
The settlement at Solu Khumbu has both a handicrafts center and agricultural land, which is quite good and is able to employ some of the settlers. The handicraft center was started in1961 by the Tibetans themselves in order to find some means of supporting themselves. The settlers depend on agricultural as the main source of living. They grow wheat, barley, potatoes and other vegetables. However due to lack of irrigation facilities and other agricultural know how the production from the agricultural is only up to the subsistence level.
Settlement Location
This settlement is situated at Chailsa, Solu Khumbu which is located in extreme Northwest of Nepal with an altitude of 2775, meters above sea level. The settlement has an average temperature of 21-degree Celsius and annual rainfall of 62cms.
Settlement Population
When the settlement was first established there was total population of 525 people.However with the passage of time there is fall in the population of the settlement. This fall in the settlement people is mainly because of the migration of the settlers to the urban areas of Nepal and India. This migration of the settlers is due to the lack of the employment within the settlement."

Ellington, Connecticut, USA
Cold winds of December rake through acres of Christmas trees and howl as they reach the distant woodlands. Across the countryside, the setting sun casts rich, molten light which imparts the illusion of warmth in a land that aches for snow.
The custom of decorating Christmas trees was originally brought to North America by German settlers in the 1700s, but didn’t really begin catching on until the mid-1800s. By 1901, the first Christmas tree farm in the USA was established, though it was a rarity in its day. In fact, nine out of every ten Christmas trees were cut from forests right up until the 50s. That changed dramatically over the past several decades as tree plantations rapidly expanded; now almost all Christmas trees are farm-grown.
Many different evergreens such as firs, spruces and pines may be cultivated for use as Christmas trees and an 8-foot specimen generally grows in 6 to 10 years. Farmers oftentimes plant new trees every year or two, ensuring that a new generation is reaching maturity every December. The trees seen on this plantation are of mixed heights –between 2 to 4 feet– so it will likely be another couple years before any of them are ready to be harvested and decorated.

Previously closed to folks without a special permit, the land is now open. Logging roads were in good condition this day.

Wikipedia: "Marpha is a village development committee in Mustang District in the Dhawalagiri Zone of northern Nepal. At the time of the 1991 Nepal census it had a population of 1630 people living in 434 individual households.[1]
The name itself reflects the "mar" meaning hard working and "pha" meaning people. Tourism and mule rearing are the means of survival of the people of this place.
The village is the apple capital in the nation, with Marpha brandy and jams produced from local fruits."
Nepalis often refer to Marphas apples with almost religious admiration - claiming them to be the "sweetest and best in the whole world".
