Description:

Mustang Area (21 days trek) :
Mustang is one of the districts in mid-western part of the kingdom of Nepal. This district is divided into two parts i.e. Upper Mustang and Lower Mustang. From tourists point of view the Upper Mustang has become the center of attraction since it has been isolated and remained aloof from the outer worlds and modern civilization for centuries.
Mustang ( Hidden Valley )

The Upper Mustang and the Wall City of Lo-Manthang are unique places in the earth from the point view of its geographical location, climate, vegetation, and its phase of civilization. According to historians and archaeologists, the civilization of Mustang is one of the most ancient human civilizations renowned as 'Cave Civilization'.

Now a days Mustang has become a destination for those who are curious enough to know the ancient civilization and to see the aboriginal characteristic of the nature, politically, Mustang is a place where the existence of a king is very much consolidated and respected as an incarnation of God. There had been monarchy even before the unification of Nepal and after the unification of Nepal under Gorkha dynasty, the monarchy of Mustang continued to be existed. This means there is a constitutional monarchy for the kingdom of Nepal but for the inhabitants of Mustang there exist two monarchs-one king of Nepal and the other one of Mustang. It is a matter that perhaps astonishes not only Nepali people but the tourists as well. The government of Nepal has recognized formally the status of the king of Mustang and respects him.. Against such background, if you start trekking to Mustang region, your trek will naturally ne a matter beyond imagination and you will enjoy a lot during your trekking because it will be as much interesting and enchanting as you have never imagined to be so.
