HistoryEdit
Frederick Marshman Bailey passed through Mipi in March 1913. He describes the presence of Tibetans who had, years before, supposedly travelled in search of Pemako. Unsuccessful, they started returning to Tibet in 1909. By 1913, when Bailey visited Mipi, only those too old or ill to make the journey back to Tibet remained.[2][3] They were soon wiped out by the Idu.[4] Mipi has historically seen conflict between the Khamba and Idu tribes.[5] In 2017 British traveller Antonia Bolingbroke-Kent passed through Mipi, "Now Mipi was a tiny Idu settlement, just a few houses and a helipad splayed over a grassy spur above the river, girdled by an arc of trees."[2][3]
