Overview
Upper Mustang trekking is one of Nepal’s most mysterious and least identified kingdoms. The landscape of Mustang is an unproductive moonscape of worn sandstone pillars that are irregular moraine terraces, which presents a colorful mosaic made up mainly of earthen reds, yellows and brown. Upper mustang trekking is moderately easy trekking along the acceptable route to Lo Manthang, which lies in the exceptional heart of Mustang.
The trekking to Mustang is through an nearly treeless barren landscape. Strong winds generally blow across the area in the afternoon, generally subsiding at night. Being in the rain shadow of the Himalaya, Mustang has much less rain then the rest of Nepal.
Upper Mustang lying in the rain shadow of the Himalayas is possibly the last remnant of pristine Tibetan culture. Forbidden & remote rest of the World. It was able to evolve its own unique culture and tradition that is so rich & unique. Lo-Mustang, the capital is a walled city ruled by a religious king. life in Mustang goes on as it has for centuries at a leisurely pace.
As everywhere in the Himalayas, this area provides stunning mountain scenery highlighted by Dhaulagiri at 8167 meters (26,795ft) and Annapurna I at 8091 meters (26,545ft). You will be surrounded by more than 35 mountains over 6000 meters (19,680ft) high. The elevation of the trails rise from 2815 meters (9,233ft) to 3780 meters (12,398ft) above sea level.
