A flood plain along the banks of the Kali Gandaki River in between the villages of Tukche and Kagbeni in the Mustang district of Nepal.
The Kali Gandaki is one of the major rivers of Nepal and a left bank tributary of the Ganges in India. The headwaters of the river are formed at an altitude of 3,900 m (12,795 ft) in the Mustang region of Nepal, which borders Tibet. Many villages and towns have sprung up along its banks.
