Jigme Dorje Palbar Bista (Standard Tibetan: འཇིག་མེད་རྡོ་རྗེ་དཔལ་འབར།; Nepali: जिग्मे दोर्जे पलवर विष्ट; 1930 – 16 December 2016) was the King of Mustang (Standard Tibetan: Lo Gyalpo, Nepali: Mustang Rājā) between 1964 and 2008, until monarchy, semi-monarchy, vassals and titular kingship were abolished in Nepal. He was descendant in the 25th generation of King Amadpal bist (1440–1447), who was founder of the Kingdom of Lo. King Amadpal Bist was from the direct lineage of the greatest king of Tibet, Songtsen Gampo.
