Mustang Lo Manthang / Upper Mustang Trek - 15 days
The last forbidden kingdom of Nepal, Mustang is located beyond
the great Himalayas and is host to a large museum of Tibetan
Buddhist culture. Those who visit this region are rewarded by
the opportunity to witness and learn about traditional customs,
a unique lifestyle and breathtaking views of Silvery Mountain
and canyon-like valleys. The popularity of visiting this region
is strictly controlled by the Department of Immigration, through
which you must obtain a trekking permit, in order to protect
Mustang from the overwhelming influence of development, and to
protect the environment from overuse and neglect.
The Capital, Lo Manthan is an old walled town still undisturbed
and untouched by western civilization, and daily life is much as
it has been over the centuries. Around Lo Manthan one can
explore the nearby Namgyal Gompa, the village of Tenger and the
Nyamook Gompa. Strange are the cave dwellings that are the
villages of Guruk and Sija, cut into the surrounding cliff
sides, inhabited even today.
There are many possible trekking routes in Mustang. Try the
Tibetan influenced region between the Kali Gandaki and Kagbeni
rivers, known as 'Upper Mustang'. Further North, you can trek to
Lo Manthang through a barren, almost tree-less landscape, on a
steep and rocky trail for panoramic views of Nilgiri, Annapurna,
Dhaulagiri and several other peaks.
Mustang Annapurna Trekking:
It is meaningful if you combine your Mustang trekking with
Annapurna trekking. Instead of flying to Jomsom direct, it is
better to trek up to Jomsom from Pokhara via Ghorepani where you
also enjoy the view from Poon Hill sun rise over Himalaya.
