A vast expanse of rock; wilderness of huge proportions,
Mustang opened only for selected organized groups since
1992. Mustang offers a truly exceptional opportunity to
explore an area rich in ancient tradition and mythology.
An almost treeless, barren landscape with a countryside
similar to Tibetan plateau. In lower Mustang the hills
tend to be great, red fluted cliffs, while upper Mustang
offers an endless expanse of yellow and gray rolling
hills, eroded the wind, which is prevalent in this area.
The people here are Tibetan in origin and their way of
life and spoken language reflect this ancestral lineage.
The trek takes you to the walled town of Lo-Manthang, a
visually extraordinary place, home of the present
Mustang's King and full of beautiful temples and Gompa.
Your trip preparation:
This trek is considered as a non-technical trek and
suitable for average people. If you are moderately fit
and have a sense of adventure and culture you will enjoy
this trek. The program is designed to acclimatize you
gradually and not to experience high altitude sickness.
As the trek is designed for camping arrangement,
everything is handled by our team of porters, sherpas
and cooks who carry the equipment, set up the camp and
have hot meals waiting for you at every food break.
