Abstract
In Diary, the author describes a journey through a mysterious land, the Lo Kingdom in Upper Mustang, in northern Nepal. She compares her impressions to observations of the heroes of James Hilton’s famous book “Lost Horizon”. The fascination with the legendary land, the mythical Šambhai (Shangri La) has a huge impact to this day and attracts many travellers to visit the former Kingdom. Hiking the Himalayan trails from Kagbeni to Syanboche to the capital of Lo Manthanang brings many different reflections to everyone. Six hundred years of tradition and modern history overlap there and interact with each other. From 2008, the Kingdom of Lo is no longer formally established. Nepal is a Republic along with the Northern Mustang.
