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).
