Upper Mustang Trek is an exotic tour to the unspoiled villages. It showcases rare medieval Buddhism arts, cultures. It also lets you experience the unique beauty of the landscape of the trans-Himalayan desert. Mustang was once a major ancient trading route between Thak Khola and Tibet. The world’s deepest gorge, the Kali Gandaki Valley, also lies in Mustang. In Tibetan, Mustang means fertile land. Mustang or the Kingdom of Lo is an area located at the North-West of Nepal and it borders Tibet. Mustang was a prohibited area to foreigners up until 1991. Made Independent, it is now an integral part of Nepalese territory (since 1951.) Located behind a mountainous barrier, Mustang sits in a rain shadow. This region is unaffected by the monsoons. Here one lives with the rhythm of the seasons isolated from modern time.
