About Upper Mustang:

Upper Mustang is a remote and culturally rich region of Nepal. It is often referred to as the "Last Forbidden Kingdom" due to its restricted access until 1992. Nestled in the rain shadow of the Himalayas, the Upper Mustang offers a unique landscape, ancient Tibetan Buddhist monasteries, and a preserved Tibetan culture.

The region is characterized by its arid and desert-like terrain, with rugged cliffs, deep canyons, and colorful rock formations. It lies at a high altitude, ranging from 2,800 meters (9,200 feet) to 3,800 meters (12,500 feet). This definitely adds to its distinctiveness and challenges for trekkers.

Trekking in Upper Mustang is a remarkable experience that takes you through traditional Tibetan villages, whitewashed houses, and centuries-old monasteries. The walled city of Lo Manthang, the capital of the Mustang region, is a major highlight. It showcases an ancient palace, narrow alleys, and intricately painted mud-brick houses, giving a glimpse into the region's rich history and cultural heritage.

The trek to the Upper Mustang requires a special trekking permit and must be done with a registered trekking agency. The trekking season is typically from April to October when the weather is more favorable. The journey takes you through scenic landscapes, barren valleys, and breathtaking mountain views, including the majestic Nilgiri, Annapurna, and Dhaulagiri peaks.

The culture of Upper Mustang is heavily influenced by Tibetan Buddhism, and you'll encounter numerous monasteries, Chortens (Buddhist shrines), and prayer flags along the way. The people of Upper Mustang, known as the "LO" have preserved their unique traditions and lifestyle over the centuries.
