Mustang Trek - 18 days

Mustang TrekMustang situated in the North of the Annapurna Himal and bordering Tibet (China), an ancient and mysterious Kingdom of Lo, was closed to foreigners. Even after it was included Nepalese territory, entry was tightly restricted for foreigners. Consequently, it drew much attention as prohibited Kingdom. Mustang is a most remote areas, it is a geographic extension of the Tibetan plateau, a windswept land of mountains preserving the last authentic remains of Tibetan culture. This area was completely isolated from the rest of the world, and only opened to trekking groups in 1991. The barley, potatoes and buckwheat grown here are the staple diet of the villages through which our trek passes to reach the ancient walled fortress city of Lo Manthang. From here the border of Tibet is just a stone's throw away.

We fly in and out of Jomsom to avoid the long approach march, and trek up the west side of the valley, with spectacular views of Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri & the Annapurna massif from the pass at 13 000ft. After visiting Tserang, the second city of Mustang. We continue on through dramatic desert scenery of red and ochre fluted cliffs, to the fabled mediaeval walled city of Lo- Manthang.

We spend the next few days visiting the outlying temples and villages using Lo Manthang as a base; we may even be lucky enough to have an interview with King. A steep descent into the gorge to visit friends in Dhi (where we will no doubt be treated to some traditional Tibetan hospitality) takes us on the return journey over a spectacular pass at 13000ft and back to the airstrip in Jomsom.

Departures : This trip can be arranged at any time to suit you in between months of March -April and September to November.

Trekking Type : Fully organized camping Trek (This trails no teahouse facility)
