Upper Mustang Trek

Mustang

Once an independent kingdom, the kingdom of Mustang was annexed by Nepal after Nepal was declared a republic in 2007. The Mustangis or the people of Mustang call themselves Lobas, and they have their own King or Tribe-leader, Jigme Palbar Bista. The Nepal Government took back the official recognition of Bista as the Mustangi King but however, the people there still respect him as their King. Bista also grants audience to the visitors upon request. 

Chorten along the way

Mustang is rich in Buddhist culture, similar to the area of the Tibet Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China. Thus, it is an alternate way to experience the Tibetan culture and landscape.

Kagbeni along the Kali Gandai river

Upper Mustang trek starts after a scenic flight to Jomsom: the district headquarter of Mustang. Walking along the Kali Gandaki River, we trek to Kagbeni from where a special Mustang permit is required to pass beyond the point. Crossing mountain passes, fields of Barley and several ancient villages, we reach Lo-Manthang. The white washed walls at the city enclose around 150 homes, Gompas and a palace. At Lo-Manthang, we explore the town and observe a vibrant Tibetan culture.
