Upper Mustang Trekking Nepal

Upper Mustang – One of the few places in the Himalayan region that has been able to retain its traditional Tibetan culture unmolested… authentic Tibetan culture now survives only in exile and a few places like mustang, which have had long historical and cultural ties with Tibet. The trek to upper mustang is a rare privilege. You can experience the way of life of the true mountain people, which has not been changed for years because the region has been cut off rest of Nepal. Trekking to upper mustang is similar to trekking in Tibet. The region was a forbidden land for many centuries. Lo manthang is the isolated kingdom of upper mustang. The fort city was built in 1380 AD by the first king of Lo, Ame Pal. At present, 1100 people are living in 144 mud houses, 4 Gumpas & 1 Palace are there inside of the wall city.  This is in the Himalayan rain shadow and is one of the few parts of the country where you can explore fascinating landscapes of great castles, ancient monasteries and lonely remote villages. The highest part of this trek is 4,300m ( Chongo-La).
Until the 1990s, the isolated region of the Kali Gandaki valley known as Upper Mustang was closed for trekkers due to its sensitive location next to the Tibetan border. Today, however, with special area (control area) trekking permit, you can venture into this arid and remote region, which is home to a relatively undisturbed Tibetan culture. Upper Mustang is one of the few places in the world that has long-lived a very close-niche life and that region was, until recently, inaccessible to outsiders. This isolation helped the people of Mustang to maintain their lifestyle and heritage that remained almost unchanged for centuries. Hidden behind the majestic Himalayan ranges of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna, Mustang is filled with beautiful trekking zones. Although officially part of Nepal, the Mustang region in the upper reaches of the Kali Gandaki River is a world unto itself. Long closed to foreigners because of its strategic location on the Tibetan border, Mustang has only been open to trekkers and is closely regulated by the Nepali government. Only organized / tea house treks are allowed into the region through registered trekking agency only. The brown landscape, jagged peaks, and mud-walled villages are reminders of what Tibet must have been like before the Chinese invasion.
