The long forbidden Kingdom of Mustang has always exuded an air of romance. In northern Mustang (the ancient Kingdom of Lo), language and traditions are almost purely Tibetan. It is a land of barley fields and pasture and vast expanses of gray and yellow rolling hills eroded by the wind that howl across the area most afternoons. Sun baked bricks of pale mud are used for almost all construction, including the walls and palace of Manthang. With a rich and complex history it was once a part of the western Tibetan region of Ngari and maintained its status as a separate principality until 1951.
Day 1 Kathmandu - Pokhara
Fly or drive to Pokhara
Day 2 Pokhara - Jomsom - Kagbeni
Fly to Jomsom (or trek up,) the district headquarters
of Mustang and start trek to Kagbeni, the starting
point of the ‘Upper Mustang’. Overnight
camping at Kagbeni.
Day 3 Kagbeni - Chele
There is a trail up the east bank of the kali Gandaki
that climbs over many ridges as it heads north and
reaches Tangbe village. The town is a labyrinth
of narrow alleys amongst whitewashed houses, fields
of buckwheat, barley, and wheat and apple orchards.
Nilgiri peak, which dominates the southern skyline
at Kagbeni, continues to loom massively at the foot
of the valley. Beyond Tangbe, we reach Chhusang
village and crossing north up the trail to a huge
red chunk of conglomerate that has fallen from the
cliff above, forming a tunnel through which the
kali Gandaki flows. The trek now leaves the Kali
Gandaki valley and climbs steeply up a rocky gully
to Chele at 3030m. The culture changes form the
Manangi culture to the Tibetan culture of Lo.
Day 4 Chele - Geling
The climb continues along steep, treeless, waterless
terrain, along the side of a spectacular steep canyon
to a pass and cairn of rock at 3540m. Then the trail
makes a long gradual descent to some chortens on
a ridge, before descending further on a pleasant
trail to Samar. The Annapurna, still dominated by
Nilgiri, is visible far to the south. The route
climbs sharply up and down over a series a high
passes, before the final descent to Geling.
Day 5 Geling - Charang
From Geling, the trail climbs gently to the most
interesting pass on your trek, Nyi La and descends
beneath blue, gray and red cliffs across the valley
to a bridge over Tangmar Chu (river), then climbs
past what is perhaps the longest and most spectacular
mani (prayer wall) in Nepal. Climbing over another
pass at 3600m, the route makes a long gentle descent
to Charang. The huge five story white Dzong (fort)
and red gompa (Buddhist temple) contains a fascinating
array of statues and Thankas as well as many large
paintings of seated Buddhas.
Day 6 Charang - Lo Manthang
The trail descends about 100 meters from Charang,
crosses the Charang - Chu, climbs steeply up a rocky
trail to a cairn on a ridge and continues to climb.
Finally from a ridge at 3850m, there is a view of
the walled city of Lo. After a short descent, cross
a stream then climb up into the plateau of Lo Manthang.
Day 7 Lo Manthang
Another day in Lo Manthang gives you the chance
to explore its many sights, the Tall Champa Lakhang
(God house,) the red Thugchen Gompa, Chyodi Gompa
and the Raja’s Palace, as well as to gaze
at the surroundings panoramic views of the Tibetan
Plateau and the Himalaya.
Day 8 Lo Manthang
Besides Lo Manthang there are two other interesting
valleys worth visiting. The western valley Tingkhat,
the sight of Raja’s summer palace, Kimling
and Phuwa as well as the Gompa of Namgyal (The Monastery
of Victory) is the newest and most active Gompa
in Lo. In the eastern valley lies the of Chosar,
also rich in gompas and the valley is the main trading
route to Lhasa.
Day 9 Lo Manthang - Ghami via Gekar
This is an opportunity to visit two other villages
on your return trek. The trail climbs steadily to
the pass marked by a cairn, offering a last glimpse
of Lo Manthnag. Crossing a ridge at 4070m, the trail
then bumpily to Gekar. Lo Gekar Gompa is one of
the oldest gompas in Nepal. And is older than the
famed Samye Gompa in Tibet. Passing through Thamar
village, the steep trail finally reaches Ghami.
