UPPER MUSTANG TREKKING IN NEPAL
HIGHLIGHTS
• Walled City Lo
Manthang
• Centuries old
monasteries in Tsarang, Lomanthang and Ghar Gompa
Hidden
behind the Himalayan giants Dhaulagiri and Annapurna, Mustang is a
small area that lies in the southern border of the Tibetan highland and is a
restricted area that requires a special trekking permit
through a registered trekking company. The Mustang trekking trail consists
of treeless deserted scenery, vertical rocky paths up and down the hill and
beautiful views of Mt. Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, and Annapurna, Tukuche peak, Mustang
Himal, Tilicho peak, Arniko Chuli and many other splendid peaks.
The route to Mustang demands
traveling transversely through arid landscape with barren edges, deep gorges,
moraine valleys and eroded rock faces. The trail features barley fields and
grazing lands where sheep are seen grazing, and horses walk by carrying heaps.
The views of the desolate Kali Gandaki valley, almost infinite spaces
surrounding Kagbeni, sharp ridges and elevated mountains sum up to an amazing
experience for adventure lovers.
Trekking in Mustang is really one of
the most gratifying experiences you can get. Also, you will get a firsthand
glimpse into the ancient Buddhist culture in the area that has been untouched
by modernization for centuries. The Mustang trek as designed by Unique
Adventure International can be also referred as the “Rhododendron trek” because
it takes you to different varieties of rhododendron forests and looks
absolutely enchanting during the spring season because of blooming
rhododendrons. Moreover, you will come across the Thorang La pass (5417 m)
where you will enjoy some stunning high Himalayan scenery over the Kali Gandaki
valley, with the entire Annapurna range, Mukut and Mustang Himal overlooking
your trek from the west.
