Upper
Mustang Trek |
Mustang is one of the most remote kingdoms on earth. Sheltered
by Himalayan giants like Dhaulagiri and Annapurna, Mustang
region occupies the southern fringes of the Tibetan plateau, a
high and desolate country long isolated from the outside world.
This region is one of the few places in the world that until
only recently was inaccessible to outsiders. This isolation has
helped maintain a way of life almost unchanged for centuries.
Even now, a special restricted area permit is required and a
government Liaison Officer accompanies the trek. Our trek begins
with a flight from Pokhara to Jomosom and follows the course of
the Kali Gandaki, a majestic and fast flowing river that has
carved a deep gorge through the high Himalayas in its rush to
the plains. Climbing up a steep canyon, we hike a few more days
to the walled capital city of Lo Manthang, virtually untouched
since the 14th century.
