MUSTANG TREK
Mustang is one of the recently opened areas for limited trekking
groups each year. It was the former Buddhist kingdom of Lo,
extended to the upper Kali Gandaki River which has carved the
deepest gorge in the world between Dhaulagiri and Annapurnas.
Mustang has a long and rich history that makes one of the most
interesting places in Nepal. There are records of events in Lo
as early as 8th century.
The trek follows the west side of Jomsom Valley with magnificent
views of the Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri and the Annapurna massif from
the pass at 4,000 meters and reaches the fabled madieval walled
city of Lo Manthang full of cultural and religious heritage.
Not suffered from mass influx of tourists, the region has
retained its unique and un-spoilt nature by less human impact in
the area. The countryside of Lo Manthang is similar to Tibetan
plateau with its endless expanses of yellow and gray rolling
hills. A trek into this fabled forbidden kingdom of vast, arid
valleys, eroded canyons, yak caravans, colorful-painted mud
brick houses on the back dropped of majestic mountain of Nilgiri,
Tukche, Annapurna and Dhaulagiri - a Shangri-La rich in
spiritual reward with a culture insight into the primitive
settlement of Buddhists whose life style remain unchanged for
centuries can justifiably a very special one.
