Mustang trek is one of the best treks for exploring the uncanny terrain and witnessing some of the most beautiful mountainous sceneris of Nepal. The small kingdom of Mustang, closed to westerners until 1992, is an enchanting land of windswept vistas, red walled monasteries, and feudal towns. This tiny kingdom was not only a major corridor of trade from the 1400′s to before the Chinese occupation of Tibet, but also figured prominently as a conduit for the spread of Buddhism in Tibet. Local legend tells the tale of the great founder of Tibetan Buddhism, Padmasambhava, who before building Samye (the oldest monastery in Tibet) came to Mustang to stand guard against and do battle with the evil powers out to destroy Buddhism. The temple of Lo Gekhar in eastern Mustang was built by Padmasambhava after his triumphant battle and still stands guard today. Our Mustang trek route will take us across the vast Kali Gandaki riverbed, up over windswept passes at 14,000 ft. and across the ‘Plain of Aspirations’ to the walled capital city of Lo Manthang. All this through a landscape of indescribable vastness and beauty, home to the famous snow leopard, the endangered bharal (blue sheep), and the mythical mehti (abominable snowman). With a landscape bathed in hues of orange and red rocks interspersed with sporadic fields of vibrant green, yellow and red of barley, maize, and buckwheat, Trekking to Mustang is an experience that leads you a step back to a simpler time. We have timed our spring departure to coincide with the annual Tiji festival, one of the most impressive festivals still held in the Himalaya.
