| Mustang |
| The
long forbidden region of upper Mustang and the walled city of Lo Manthang
are now open to a limited number of foreign trekkers, just 300 tourists
in a year |
| |
| Introduction: |
| Mustang
is one of the few places in the world that is still untrammeled by
tourists; it is most important that the region preserve its natural
state. In common usage, the name Mustang refers to the arid Tibet-like
region at the northern end of the Kali Gandaki, which is known to
its inhabitants as Lo. |
| Mustang
is probably a Nepalese mispronunciation of the name of the capital
of Lo, the city of Manthang. The name is pronounced "moo-staang"
and has nothing to do with either the automobile or horse with
a similar name. Officially, Mustang designates the district
along the Kali Gandaki from the Tibetan border. The capital
of the Mustang district is Jomsom; the restricted area of Tibetan
influence is north of Kagbeni and generally referred to
as "upper Mustang". |
|
|
| Upper
Mustang consists of two distinct regions: the southern region, with
five villages of people related to the Manangis and the ancient
kingdom of Lo where the language, culture and traditions are almost
purely Tibetan. The capital of Lo is named Manthang, which translates
from the Tibetan as "plain of aspiration". Many texts refer
to the capital as Lo Manthang, but this is not strictly correct. Also
there are few more name given about Manthang which is not correct. |
|
| Trekking
in Lo: |
| The
trek to Lo is through an almost treeless barren landscape. Strong
winds usually in the afternoon, generally subsiding at night. Being
in the rain shadow of the Himalayas, Lo has much less rain than the
rest of Nepal, through the skies is cloudy and there is same rain
during the monsoon. In the winter there is usually snow, sometimes
as much as 30-40 centimeters on the ground. There is more rain in
the lower part of upper Mustang and the hills tend to be great red
fluted cliffs of tiny round stones cemented together by mud. Villages
are several hours apart and appear in the distance almost as mirages;
during the summer season, after the crops are planted, they are green
oases in the desert like landscape |
| |
| When
to come? |
| The
trekking season is from late March to early November. This trek does
not go to really high elevation, but the cold, dust and very strong
winds can make the trek quite adventurous than others in Nepal. |
