Mustang Trekking
(20 Days, Camping/Hotels)
 

The mysterious and remote Kingdom of Mustang is bordered by Tibet on three sides and because of strict permit system is only visited by a few trekkers in each year. It therefore, remains largely unchanged compared with the more visited areas to the south, and to avoid these and the long approach walk we take the spectacular flight to Jomsom along the impressive gorge of the Kali Gandaki. Leaving behind the great peaks of Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri and Annapurna and entering Mustang, the grandeur of the scenery – similar to that of the Tibetan plateau – becomes apparent. Passing through fascinating and remote villages, whose culture and hospitable lifestyle is practically undisturbed by 20th or 21st century incursions, our destination is the fabled walled city of Lo-Manthang. With plenty of time to explore and learn about the area’s unique culture, this trek is one of the most unusual and attractive itineraries currently available with us, just contact us for this trip..
