The Kingdom of Mustang formerly known as the Kingdom
of Lo and popularly known as The Forbidden Kingdom was inaccessible for centuries and has
recently been opened for visitors and tourists. Mustang (from Tibetan Mun Tan
(Wylie smon-thang) which means fertile plain) is located in the Northern
Central part of Nepal and is the of Adventure Trekking in Nepal
experience. Giving an opportunity to get a glimpse of the kingdom, the famous
Muktinath Temple and the Sky Caves, the trek in this region of Mustang is one
of the finest trekking routes throughout the world.
Upper Mustang, another remarkable landmark of the
trek is located in the North of the Mighty Annapurna Mountain and is 4,000
meters above the sea level. The valleys are mostly arid and dry resulting into
numerous caves dwelling up in the cliffs which are full of myths and history.
If one is seeking to see undisturbed Tibetan Culture, Trekking to Upper
Mustang is the ideal trek as due to its proximity, the land and its people have
preserved the culture.
The Trekking to Mustang Region follows established
trails through numerous villages that once served as the trade route between
Nepal and Tibet. The whole trekking route is home to impressive chortens and
simple monasteries which reflect the abiding Buddhist culture and one will feel
like going back in time while travelling through these trials all along the
villages. The terrain is flanked by snowy peaks making every moment of the trek
even more special. The highlight of this
incredible Trekking in Nepal Experience is the visit to Lo Manthang (The
Forbidden Kingdom) where the King of Mustang still reigns over his tiny
kingdom.
We as outfitters in Nepal not only serve our clients
but do a lot of travelling ourselves. We have uploaded a lot of pictures from
our recent trip to the Kingdom on our facebook page. Feel free
to check them out.
If those images will not excite you, I am not sure
what will ?
Well then, lets make a trip to the Forbidden Kingdom
in the Spring of 2015 and allow AdventureTrekking Nepal an opportunity to be your local outfitter. You will relish every
minute of the trip !
