A challenging trek into Mustang, one of Nepal’s least accessible regions
This trek offers the unique opportunity to explore the ‘Forbidden Kingdom’ of Mustang – a destination inaccessible to trekkers before 1992. Surrounded by the breathtaking Himalaya, we follow 15th century trade routes across barley fi elds and dusty plains to the walled city of Lo Manthang. During the journey we explore ancient Buddhist monasteries and meet the welcoming people of Mustang.
