The Forbidden Land of Mustang

Printer-friendly versionSend to friend

Mustang is a very popular trekking region in Nepal and has been described as a, “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. The Department of Immigration issued only a small number of special permits since 1991. This is a perfect destination where ample scope is offered for visiting Buddhists monasteries. This semi autonomous and heavily Tibetan influenced region is described as be more fascinating for being so little known. 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. 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).
