"Mustang was once an independent kingdom, although closely tied by language and culture to Tibet. From the 15th century to the 17th century,
it's strategic location granted Mustang control over the trade between the Himalayas and India. At the end of the 18th century the kingdom was
annexed by Nepal" Wikipedia
Lo Manthang, Mustang - Trekking in Nepal
18 Days in Nepal
Trekking to Lo Manthang, Mustang is a sensational journey beyond the Himalayas to one of the most
remote kingdoms on earth. Hidden behind the Himalayan giants of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna, It is
truly the Forbidden Kingdom. Once an independent kingdom, this land of Tibetan Buddhism was only
opened to outsiders in 1992. With its ancient monasteries, palaces, caves and ruins
of old forts, Mustang is rich in art and history. This is perhaps the only region where Tibetan
culture and religion have survived over the centuries mostly untouched by time and modern colonization.
This trek follows the ancient trade route, passing through historic towns and eventually ending at
the capital city of Lo Manthang. This is a restricted region and
requires a permit fee of US$ 500
per person.
GRADE C (Moderate to Strenuous):
The trek to Lo Manthang, Mustang is 11 days of moderate to strenuous trekking at medium elevation (max. 3,950m).
11 nights camping - 6 nights hotel. This trek is for the more serious adventurer.
It involves walking at medium elevation so a higher level of physical fitness
and stamina is required. The more fit you are, the more you will enjoy this trek
Altitude Sickness (Acute Mountain Sickness)
There is a real threat of altitude sickness on the Lo Manthang trek. Even though Discover Nepal treks are carefully planned to allow altitude acclimatization, it is impossible to determine who may be affected by it. We strongly suggest you check with your physician for more information on your health before leaving for this trek.
