I don't believe the Mongols ever dominated Tibet. 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.

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