The Trek to this mystique kingdom which requires a special permit that
costs US$ 700 per person [valid for 10 Days] begins at the airstrip of
Jomsom after flying up early in the from Pokhara. The trek is rather
easy as most of the path goes along the bank of Kali Gandaki River and
eventually leads you to Lo Manthang, the capital of Mustang at 3730
meter, which is the highest point on this trip.
Fascinating areas -
culturally and historically, picturesque villages, monasteries, unique
landscape and easy access and very few trekkers in this area are the
major highlights of this trip. This is among the very few trips in Nepal
which can be done throughout the year.
The region of Mustang lies
north of the main Himalayan range in the area known as the
trans-Himalaya. A vast high valley, arid and dry, it has a barren
desert-like appearance similar to the Tibetan Plateau and is
characterized by eroded canyons and colorful stratified rock formations.
It was once an important route for crossing the Himalaya between Tibet
and Nepal, and many of the old salt caravans passed through Mustang.
Known
to its inhabitants as Lo, Mustang was only opened to trekkers in March
1992 and you will be part of a small privileged minority to visit this
remote outpost of Nepal. The capital of the Mustang district is actually
Jomsom but the Tibetan influenced area north of Kagbeni is known as
Upper Mustang. It is this area which we will explore fully, discovering
the wonders of the architecture, language, culture and traditions which
are almost purely Tibetan.
Highlights of the Trekking
