The Hidden Kingdom of Mustang
A journey into a fascinating Buddhist Kingdom to the
ancient Luri Gompa.
Duration : 14-Day
Trek grade : moderate, escorted
Maximum altitude : 3780m
Beginning with a spectacular flight along the Kali
Gandaki we pass between the great mountain massifs
of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri to reach Jomsom. From
here our trek begins, following the Kali Gandaki River
into the restricted area of Mustang. Geographically
and culturally more a part of Tibet than Nepal, Mustang
contains a wild landscape of eroded cliffs and hidden
caves. We trek through remote villages, little changed
by twentieth century influences, and have time to
appreciate the culture of the hardy Lobas people.
After five days wereach the spectacular walled city
of Lo Manthang , the
capital
of Mustang, and the incredible four storey palace.
We have time to explore the city and visit outlying
villages to the north of the capital.
Our return is via the rarely visited eastern side
of Mustang and the ancient gompa at Luri. Hidden canyons
and stairways lead to the gompa which contains unique
wall paintings.
Scenically unlike any other area in Nepal, a trek
into the hidden Kingdom of Mustang is a uniquely rewarding
experience.
