Upper Mustang
14-Day Trekking Itinerary

Upper Mustang
The separate kingdom in hidden Trans- Himalayan valley behind the Annapurnas is known as Upper Mustang. A traditional world trade route to Tibet has been open to travelers since 1992. Cold desert, a lost kingdom, rich in ancient tradition, mythology, and huge barren areas are similar to Tibetan plateau. The people of Mustang are of Tibetan origin and their way of life and spoken language reflects this ancestral lineage. The landscape of Mustang is red fluted hills, cliffs, pinnacles in lower and upper Mustang has yellow and gray rolling hills. During the daytime Mustang region is mostly windy because of dry air. Some parts are fertile valleys where certain crops are grown- Tibetan barley, fruits, buckwheat, etc. Journey to the hidden kingdom is an unique experience for trekkers. Rich in inhabitants of Tibetan heritage have built several Buddhist monuments, paintings, and walls; the Gompas are the most significant.
