Mustang lies on Nepal-Tibet(China) border and is divided into two regions, upper and lower Mustang. The place is very dry and rainfall is very scarce. It is one of the driest places in the country so for those having a passion for the trek, this is one of the most congenial places to explore. This is one of the most desolate parts of the country perhaps you may not find it going with the twenty-first century but it may reflect us how our ancestors lived many centuries ago in the Himalayan region. The traditions, customs, lifestyle, etc of the area might take you to the past. If you are totally a city dweller then this place has much to offer you with monasteries, prayer flags, and Gompas denoting Tibetan culture.
The upper Mustang is one of the least explored places in the country. The ethnic people of this region are known as “Lobas” and consider themselves the descendants of Tibet. People living here still follow an ancient lifestyle may be due to topography. Besides, one thing is assured, an ever-lasting impression that will remain with you forever. Additionally, the gateway to Upper Mustang a village called Kagbeni dates back to the 14th century that stood as a check post for Nepali traders. As we go up further we come across Chele, Gelling, and Gharang and eventually reach the ancient kingdom of “lo-Manthang”. This is one of the most amazing and marvelous places in the country with historical significance.
Having a unique climate the area is dry and barren, so it appears a pretty challenging trail but with training from our well-trained instructors, the trek can be easily overcome. Since all the treks in the Himalayan region consist of ups and downs this trail is no different. It is going to test your patience but by the end of the trip, it is going to bring you pleasure. This trek is not open throughout the year because the area is mostly covered with snow in winters so the perfect period would be from April to October. Even during monsoon, there is a chance as it hardly rains in this region.
If you are looking to make a trip to this magical place then we believe that you are a travel enthusiast, so we are ready to serve you with our highest zeal. All you require is fitness and ready to explore.
