Few regions of the great Himalayas remain unraveled. The
ancient kingdom of Mustang in western Nepal is one of
them. It is divided into two parts namely the Upper
Mustang and the Lower Mustang. Upper Mustang is largely
inhabited by Manangi people and goes up to the ancient
capital of Lo Manthang. Whereas Lower Mustang covers the
part of lower valley along the Kali Gandaki river.
Forbidden & isolated from the rest of the world Mustang
was able to evolve its own culture and traditional which
so rich and unique. This is the only district in Nepal
with its own religious King. The people of Mustang call
themselves Lobas. Their house and temple construction
all over the region use stone but mostly mud bricks that
are sun baked. Some beautiful architectures in this
region are the city wall and the four story palace in Lo
Manthang. Untouched by modern civilization, life in
Mustang goes on as it has for centuries in unhurried
pace. There are so many caves, Monasteries, Schools and
hills around Lomanthang where you can hike to observe
Tibetan border.
Upper Mustang being in the Himalayan rain shadow is one
of the few parts of the country that are suitable for
trekking during the summer monsoon period. Even at this
time, the upper Kali Gandaki valley is still quite dry
with only occasional rainfall. The Mustang trek is not
particularly difficult, the highest point reached in
only 3,800m. But the conditions at times can be arduous.
Cold in winter and windy and dusty all year. Winter
treks are best avoided due to the cold when many of the
locals migrate to southern parts of the country and even
to India.
Upper Mustang is restricted area of Nepal. According to
government rule, liaison officers should always
accompany with the trekking groups. There are few
accommodation facilities available above Kagbeni so we
must be fully self- sufficient especially in fuel. We
can take mules/horses to carry the loads. The into the
Kingdom of Mustang is through an almost tree less
barren landscape, a steep rocky trail up and down hill
panoramic views of Nilgiri, Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and
several other peaks make the trek memorable.

Nepal trekking /
travel related business was booming until 1999. After that, the
incessant conflict scared off tourists from visiting
Nepal and we are feeling the pinch of the fall in
tourist arrivals. There was a time when we recorded such
a huge flow of tourists that we used to turn back some.
As a professional Nepal tour operator we did not have sufficient
staff and equipment to handle all of them...
