TREKKING IN
MUSTANG
REGION |
|
|
Mustang is one of the
most remote kingdoms on earth. Sheltered
by Himalayan giants like Dhaulagiri and
Annapurna, Mustang region occupies the
southern fringes of the Tibetan plateau,
a high and desolate country long
isolated from the outside world. This
region is one of the few places in the
world that until only recently was
inaccessible to outsiders. This
isolation has helped maintain a way of

almost unchanged for
centuries. Even now, a special restricted area permit is
required and a government Liaison Officer accompanies
the trek. Our trek begins with a flight from Pokhara to
Jomosom and follows the course of the Kali Gandaki, a
majestic and fast flowing river that has carved a deep
gorge through the high Himalayas in its rush to the
plains. Climbing up a steep canyon, we hike a few more
days to the walled capital city of Lo Manthang,
virtually untouched since the 14th century. |
