UPPER MUSTANG TREKKING IN NEPAL
HIGHLIGHTS
• Walled City Lo Manthang
• Centuries old monasteries in Tsarang, Lomanthang and Ghar
Gompa
Hidden behind the Himalayan giants
Dhaulagiri and Annapurna, Mustang is a small area that lies in the southern
border of the Tibetan highland and is a restricted area that requires a special trekking permit
through a registered trekking company. The Mustang trekking trail consists
of treeless deserted scenery, vertical rocky paths up and down the hill and
beautiful views of Mt. Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, and Annapurna, Tukuche peak,
Mustang Himal, Tilicho peak, Arniko Chuli and many other splendid peaks.
The route to Mustang demands
traveling transversely through arid landscape with barren edges, deep gorges,
moraine valleys and eroded rock faces. The trail features barley fields and
grazing lands where sheep are seen grazing, and horses walk by carrying heaps.
The views of the desolate Kali Gandaki valley, almost infinite spaces
surrounding Kagbeni, sharp ridges and elevated mountains sum up to an amazing
experience for adventure lovers.
Trekking in Mustang is really one of the most
gratifying experiences you can get. Also, you will get a firsthand glimpse into
the ancient Buddhist culture in the area that has been untouched by modernization
for centuries. The Mustang trek as designed by Unique Adventure International
can be also referred as the “Rhododendron trek” because it takes you to
different varieties of rhododendron forests and looks absolutely enchanting
during the spring season because of blooming rhododendrons. Moreover, you will
come across the Thorang La pass (5417 m) where you will enjoy some stunning
high Himalayan scenery over the Kali Gandaki valley, with the entire Annapurna
range, Mukut and Mustang Himal overlooking your trek from the west.
