Nepali high in the mountains (6)
I believe the answer is:
alpine
'in the mountains' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'nepali high' is the wordplay.
'high' indicates anagramming the letters (like drunk).
'nepali' anagrammed gives 'ALPINE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for alpine that I've seen before include "Relating to a European mountain range" , "Nepali (anag.)" , "Plant of high mountains" , "Relating to high mountains" , "To do with great European mountains" .)
