Upper Mustang

Posted in 6th Oct, 2024

Upper Mustang is a remote and culturally rich region in Nepal, located in the north-central Himalayas, close to the Tibetan border. Known as the “Last Forbidden Kingdom,” it remained restricted to foreigners until 1992, preserving its unique Tibetan Buddhist culture and traditions. The landscape features stunning barren deserts, colorful rock formations, ancient caves, and medieval monasteries. Its capital, Lo Manthang, is a walled city with a royal palace and monasteries that date back centuries. Due to its high altitude, arid climate, and stunning Himalayan backdrop, Upper Mustang attracts adventurers, trekkers, and those seeking spiritual experiences in an isolated environment.
