"Welcome to Lo Mangthang & Upper Mustang Trekking Nepal, Adventurous Lo Manthang Trekking "
Mustang, heavily influenced from Tibet is fully popular with its–enriched, barren ridges with the deep canyons on the foothill, eroded cliffs, and others. Incompetitive landscape of snow–capped mountains, which is arisen from the world deepest gorge Kaligandaki river and the well renowned old monasteries has tantalize the people from all advanced country for its unrivaled nature pristine. The barren land without green is still colorful with chortens introducing itself the uniqueness of the area and hiding behind the giant peaks Dhaulagiri and Annapurna.
The hills are reminiscent of intricately colored hues of blue, grey, white and yellow of Mandalas. Natural pigments from these hills are used to paint the Chortens and Gompas of this region forming a distinctive style. The village of Tangbe boasts an impressive Chorten striped by eight connected spirals. Across the river from Chusang eroded cliffs can be seen which resemble the pipes of a cathedral organ. You then climb to the valley of Nye La (12956), the highest pass on this trek. The descent from this point on takes you past one of the longest and most impressive Mani walls in Nepal while the walled city of Lo- Manthang can be seen shimmering over the horizon. The capital of the kingdom of Mustang, this city contains the richest surviving collection of 15th century Buddhist Mandalas in the world. Due to the destruction of temples in Tibet, the values of these Mandalas are immeasurable. The city and the surrounding valley can be explored on horseback the following day before you turn back to the flowing Kaligandaki valley.
