Introduction: Mustang, lying nestled on the border with Tibet, is one of Nepal's most mysterious and least known kingdoms. Forbidden & isolated from the rest of the world, Mustang was able to evolve its own distinctive and unique culture and traditions, and is perhaps the last enclave of pristine Tibetan culture. The landscape of Mustang is a barren moonscape of eroded sandstone pillars and discontinuous moraine terraces, which together present a colourful mosaic made up principally of earthen reds, yellows and brown. The Mustang trek lies in the rain shadow of the Himalayas, and the trails once formed a thriving trade route between Nepal and Tibet. The terrain is striking, a semi-arid desert outlined by snow capped peaks, with remote whitewashed villages of the Lobas people along the way. The capital, Lo Manthang lies in the very heart of Mustang, a walled city from where the King reigns over his kingdom. Untouched by modern civilization, life in Mustang goes on as it has for centuries at an unhurried pace. Scenically unlike any other area in Nepal, a trek into the hidden Kingdom of Mustang is a uniquely rewarding experience.
