Upper Mustang Trek
|
|
 The once forbidden kingdom of Mustang lies in the north-west
region of Nepal. Desolate landscapes and lavishly adorned
monasteries, great rivers and fields created through the
painstaking labour of humans over time, with the highland that
extends endlessly northward and the pristine peaks of Annapurna
and of the Nilgiri, which mark the horizon to the South, there
are few places in the length of the great chain that cast
anything like the spell of Mustang.
This trip gives you the opportunity to go where few have been
before. Most of the trek keeps to arid, high deserts inhabited
mostly by people of Tibetan stock. The men folk are either
traders or farmers while the women mostly tend the fields. Along
with insights into the everyday lives of the people of "Lo" you
will have the opportunity to witness their vibrant culture and
also a chance to get a look at Lama Buddhism so little changed
by time. Still somewhat restricted, the government limits the
visitors in this area with high trekking permit fees. Our trek
to this land of magic and mystery begins at Jomsom, following a
flight to Jomsom and trek to Kagbeni, a ruined citadel town that
guards the entrance into Mustang. Entering Mustang, we visit the
16th century monastery at Charang and the fortress city of Lo-Manthang.
Here we observe the splendor and traditions of old Tibet that
have suffered extinction in Tibet due to the Chinese takeover of
its sovereignty. On our return from Mustang we may visit the
sacred pilgrimage site of Muktinath and end our trek in Jomsom. Trip
