Mustang Trekking:
The fabled kingdom of Mustang is one of the most
remote areas recently opened for foreigners by
the government of Nepal. Mustang region remains
entirely Tibetan in character, from its 5000 inhabitants and the Buddhist religion, to the
crops grown and the dialect spoken. Mustang’s
unofficial capital, the walled city of Lo Manthang, retains its own king in residence.
Fierce winds and a barren landscape await those
who attempt to reach Mustang but the rewards are
immense, with few tourists and the chance to
observe a way of life virtually untouched for
centuries.
