Mustang is a very popular trekking
region in Nepal and has been described as “desert in the
mountain”. The trek to this region is a very rewarding
one for those who want to experience the hospitality of
the people living in this remote region. Department of
immigration issued only a small number of special permit
since 1991. This is a perfect destination where ample
scope is offered for visiting Buddhists monasteries.
This semi autonomous and heavily Tibetan influenced
region was “described by Tilman as fascinatingly ugly
country, the more fascinating for being so little known”
indeed, the trek to LO – Manthang is through an almost
treeless barren landscape, a steep rocky trail up and
down hill, panoramic view of Nilgiri, Annapurna,
Dhaulagiri and several others peaks make your trek
memorable. A liaison officer is needed for this trek.
This trek begins from Jomsom - accessible by air,
Pokhara – accessible by road or Besisahar – accessible
by road (If starting from Besisahar include Annapurna
circuit too). |
