Do you want to be far off from your modern city for a while? If you are thinking so, then Mustang is waiting for you. Upper Mustang Trek can lead by the past. Since the outsider first step into it, Mustang has remained unchanged, and you can say this from the lifestyles you observe there. You wonder, and it is good to wonder in front of the mountains once in a lifetime. Mustang has an ‘add up name’ called “The Forbidden Kingdom.” What does it mean? It is not monitored by the central government of Nepal. When it comes to going back to the past, there is nothing better than visiting this kingdom which lies in a third world country.
Mustang is dry; Mustang is barren because it receives the least amount of rainfall than any other part of Nepal. Is this the main characteristic that makes Mustang beautiful? The beauty of Mustang is above par even the words fail to describe it. Mustang is near to Tibet, the highest tableland in the world. Mustang is not a complete desert because it is dotted with less vegetation. Its villages are different because their locations put you in surprise. And in their backgrounds, there are snow-covered mountains, a dramatic scene that will put you in awe.
You can associate Upper Mustang Trek with mythology, as you hear the stories about the mysterious places of Mustang from your trekking guide. Mustang is a Buddhist place, and you can see its dominance from beginning to end in the form of Gompas, prayer flags, and monasteries. The type of Buddhists you find here are called the Lobas and the descendants of the Tibetans.
Mustang is accessible; Upper Mustang Trek is one of the best trekking places in Nepal and makes yourself one of the characters of the history book. Mustang is also windy, and if you want to trek in a region where there is basic accommodation, where there is basic food, then you should list Upper Mustang Trek not only on your mobile but also in your diary as a future holiday destination.
Visit the hidden caves and visit the monasteries, they tell you more than something, and they deserve to be visited in one of the remotest places of the world.
