Highlights of the Trek |
|
Mustang (the Walled Forbidden Kingdom),
lies in the rain shadow of the Himalaya
and is perhaps one of the last enclave
of undefiled Tibetan culture. Forbidden
and isolated from the rest of the world,
it was able to evolve its own
distinctive culture and tradition which
is so rich and unique. Lo-Manthang, the
capital, is a walled city ruled by a
religious king. untouched by modern
civilization, life in Mustang goes on as
it has for centuries at a unhurried
pace. A trek into the Kingdom of Mustang
is an unforgettable experience. This is
a restricted area trek and only fully
equipped groups organised through an
agency are permitted to do the trek. The
group must be accompanied by a
Government Liaison Officer.
Grade : Camping
These treks will involve some high
altitude activity and the occasional
pass-crossing with walks of up to 9
hours per day and altitudes not
exceeding 6000 metres. Be aware of the
physical and mental needs of this type
of trek. You will need to be fit and the
preparations for the moderate trek apply
here too. Level of fitness is unrelated
to altitude sickness and you cannot be
sure that you will not suffer some mild
symptoms. Slow and steady is the key to
enjoyment.
