Lo-Manthang Trekking Nepal - 18 Days
Mustang, "The Forbidden Kingdom" is situated north
of the Himalayas and juts out onto the Tibetan Plateau. The region of Mustang
has more in common culturally and geographically with Tibet than it does with
the rest of Nepal. A journey into Mustang is like traveling back in time for a
glimpse of what Tibet might have been before the Chinese occupation. Mustang
retains much of its cultural autonomy and is administered by its own King or
Raja, the 25th successor of his lineage. It is no wonder why it was opened for
western visitors only after 1992.This magical journey in time begins.
At present Mustang is a very popular trekking region in
Nepal. The Home Ministry of Nepal announced the Opening of the restricted areas
in October 1991. There is also strict
control in obtaining a special permit from the Department of Immigration to
protect their tradition from outside influence as well as to protect their
environment. According to government
rule, liaison officers should always accompany with the trekking groups. The
region of the Tibetan influence, Kaligandaki, from the Tibetan border south to
Kagbeni is generally referred to as “Upper Mustang". The trek to Lo Manthang is through an almost
tree-less barren landscape, a steep rocky trail up and down hill and panoramic
views of Nilgiri, Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and several other peaks make your trek
memorable.
