Mustang Trekking
The name Mustang refers to the arid Tibet -like region
at the northern end of the Kali Gandaki, lying beyond
the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri. Mustang is the land of
barley fields, pastures for grazing herds. Upper Mustang
consists of two distinct regions the southern region
with five villages inhabited by people related to the
Manangis and the northern region (the ancient kingdom of
Lo) where the language culture and traditions are almost
purely Tibetan.Mustangs being a restricted area there
are certain formalities required by the government of
Nepal in obtaining a special permit with liaison
officer.
The long forbidden region of upper Mustang is now open
to limited number of trekkers. After an exciting flight
through the Kali Gandaki, we land in Jomsom and begin
trekking north towards the kingdom of Mustang. Hiking
past the villages with multi -storied houses,
monasteries and crumbling castles we reach (4100 m.)
Lho-Monthang, the walled capital of this kingdom.
Mustang trek can be done during the summer months when
the people are most active in the fields, villages and
monasteries.
