Mustang, Mugu, Dolpa, Jumla, Manang and Humla regions are known as the Trans Himalayan
region and border Tibet from the far northeast to the central part of
Nepal. The inhabitants of this region are Tibetan in language and culture.
The children at SRS come from this area with their villages located above
10,000 ft. (3,000 m). Because of the Tibetan Plateau landscape and the
high elevation life is very harsh. Much of the year there is snow and
temperature drops well below zero for long periods.

The culture of people inhabiting these areas are migratory in nature and for generations
have taken caravans to Tibet to return with salt and other goods of trade.
Recently many of the people leave the difficult and harsh environment
of the region and travel south to India or the two major cities in Nepal
to escape the severity of the winter months.
Shree Guru Ranag Tulku Rinchen Rinpoche spent his childhood in this area and knows very well of it's hardships for the people. He has opened this school for
the children of poor and destitute families, orphans and semi-orphans.
Currently there are 156 children living at Snowland Ranag School from the areas of Solu Khumbu, Mustang, Mugu, Dolpa, Jumla, Humla and Tibet.
