Mustang Trekking

 

Mustang was only opened to visitors in 1992 and it is still not an easy place to visit. The trekking is hard, the climate is difficult and strong winds are common. It is also not cheap as permits are expensive but it is truly the trek of a lifetime to a completely unique corner of the world. Trekking to Lo Manthang in Mustang is a sensational journey beyond the Himalayas to one of the most remote kingdoms on earth, hidden behind the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna.
