You're taking us back now! So cool! We couldn't justify the $500USD per adult to enter Upper Mustang, which is a real shame, but it's something we'll have to look at another time. We heard it's beautiful up there. As for the protests, amazing to experience a moment in history like that.Yes we did go to the Upper Mustang and stayed in a home/hostel owned by the son of the builder who was our cook and his wife were just so lovely and joined us after preparing our meals. We were at the foothills of the rise to The Muktinath Temple. Such a change in the landscape on our ride and rise to the Temple so arid but wonderful to take in but don't look down.The protests were captivating and an emotional ride, I was glad to see and read of the outcome.
I once met a cameraman who worked for 60 minutes, and his life was wild. He went through the last 60 years of history, and all the pivotal moments, he was there for almost all of them. It's going to be interesting to see how the Nepal situation all unfolds from here...
We’ve had the service reminder on for a lot of the trip to be honest and so just grown used to it.. Not ideal but what can you do 
When we’d be able to come though, your guess is as good as mine at the moment. My brother has just moved to Tassie and so there’s one reason we’ll be heading that way at some point.
