Upper Mustang
This desolate and windswept Mustang area lies in the north- west region of Nepal. It was once forbidden kingdom of Managi king having its capital in Lo city. Two distinct regions, northern and southern, form the Upper Mustang area inhabited by people of Managi origin. The Managi people call themselves Gurung ethnic group though they are geographically and culturally very different from the majority of Gurung community who dwell the Annapurna foothills in the mid western Nepal.

The language traditions are purely Tibetan as if it looks like a part of Tibet.Our trek to this land of magic and mystery begins at Jomsom, following the flight from the scenic lake city of Pokhara. During the trek we visit the 16th century monastery at Charang and the fortress city of Lho Manthang. Here we observe the splendor and traditions of old Tibet. On our return from Mustang we visit the sacred pilgrimage site of Muktinath and end our trek in Pokhara.
