16 Days Upper Mustang Trek to Lo Manthang

Upper Mustang Trek to the forbidden walled city

13Days Upper Mustang Trek in higher himalayas takes you to the mysterious & forbidden “Lo Manthang ”a walled city, capital of Mustang ruled by a religious King. Being in the rain shadow rainfall in mustang is much less than the rest of Nepal. Thus creating a barren landscape bereft of trees and vegetation decorated with eroded sandstone pillars & broken moraines. Constantly hounded by the whistling winds where you can hear the tinkling of the prayer bells & where the prayer flags keep on fluttering in the never ending cascade of the Himalayan winds. Trek through the tree less terrain of the mysterious Himalayas, untouched by modern civilization. Decorated with the spectacular Dhaulagiri and Annapurna I in it’s background. A place worth a life time makes it “The Greatest Trek ever”.
