The
word 'Mustang' conjures up ideas of remoteness
and seclusion, a region lost amongst the mountains.
This was an independent country until it was closely
consolidated into Nepal just a couple of decades
back.
The
kingdom of Mustang lies in the rain shadow formed
by the Annapurna & Nilgiri Himalayas thus gets
very little rain which makes the area ideal for
trekking even in the mid monsoon while the other
areas of Nepal remain unviable for trekking due
to heavy monsoon rain.
The
Trek to this mystique kingdom which requires a
special permit that costs US$ 700 per person [valid
for 10 Days] begins at the airstrip of Jomsom
after flying up early in the from Pokhara. The
trek is rather easy as most of the path goes along
the bank of Kali Gandaki river and eventually
leads you to Lo Manthang, the capital of Mustang
at 3730 meter, which is the highest point on this
trip.
Fascinating
areas - culturally and historically, picturesque
villages, monasteries, unique landscape and easy
access and very few trekkers in this area are
the major highlights of this trip. This is among
the very few trips in Nepal which can be done
throughout the year.
