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.
