Let’s remember that at its height the mongol empire was spanning from the Sea of Japan to modern day Ukraine.
That include the mountainous region of Nepal and Tibet.
From what we know of their administration, their focus was on maintaining control of the rich region around Beijing, Xanadu and Cheng du.
Not so much the Eastern Europe.

They may have made inroads into grassy northern regions such as Kham. In fact I believe that Genghis as Emperor of China paid tribute to Tibetan rulers. I'd like to see a source for Mongols crossing the Himalaya and impacting Nepal.

- denton-scratch 5y agoThanks; I am better-informed. I suppose my opinion was based on Genghis's non-invasion. I hadn't heard of Godan before.
