The Kingdom of Mustang Tour

Package Overview

The Trans-Himalayan region of Mustang is regarded and the most mysterious and least known place of the country. Known as the Last forbidden Kingdom, the area preserves some of the past remnants of customary Tibetan Buddhist cultural practice. Located in Nepal Tibet border, the landscape of Mustang is similar to that of Tibet which composes of barren and eroded sandstone pillars and discontinuous moraine terraces. The trail continues following established trails through villages which once used to fall in the trade route between Nepal and Tibet. These villages are settled in the middle of barley fields accompanied by chortens and monasteries which give a unique essence of enduring Buddhist culture. Mustang lying in the rain shadow area is semi arid desert with deep ravines flanked by snow clad Himalayas. The main eye popping factor of this trek is a visit to Lo Manthang which lies in the heart of Mustang. Lo Manthang is the capital of upper Mustang.Lunch and dinner whilst in Kathmandu and Pokhara.
