Mystery Upper Mustang Trekking
Want to experience Nepal in Tibetan Plateau? Upper Mustang is a relatively new area for non-Nepalis. It opened for foreigners only some fifteen years ago, and foreigners still need trekking permits and can go only on ‘organized trek’. Blessed with beautiful scenery, Upper Mustang has a unique history, culture, myth and legend. Unfortunately, it would be best to travel for hours to reach one village from the other.
Mystery Upper Mustang Trekking
Trekking in the region brings you to the old Kingdom of Mustang, called Lo, which has a strikingly similar culture, language, and geography to that of Tibet. Because of isolation from the outside world, their culture’s originality can still be seen. The trails you trek are the old caravan route for trade between Tibet and lowland Nepal. The trekking leads to the ancient capital of Manang, Lo Manthang, which has narrow alleyways, and long walls of beautiful prayer wheels. The royal palace and some monasteries can see, including the 15th century ThugchenGompa. If you feel like going outside the capital, our guides will take you to Chhoser to visit a sanctuary and an old cave dwelling.
