With increasing demand, price of mountain goats rises

After walking for eight days, trader Ram Bahadur Khatri came to Baglung from Mustang with 25 mountain goats. This is the first time in decades, he has imported mountain goats from Mustang to Baglung.

Although a dozen traders of the district used to reach Mustang to get the mountain goats on the occasion of Dashain, this time only a few traders have reached Mustang. As the goats could not be brought from neighboring Tibet, bringing them from Mustang has increased the price.
