Trip Overview Lomanthang Trek
The trek into Upper Mustang is still a privileged entrance into the way of life of the true mountain people. Mustang is situated north of the Annapurna Himal on the borders of Tibet, which geographically it is part of. It was a separate Kingdom within the boundaries of Nepal as late as 1950, the "Raja" of Mustang still maintains his residence in Lo-Mantang (the region's Capital). Mustang's wealth was derived from being a major trading hub on the Kali Gandaki / Thak Khola trade route to Tibet. Our destination is the exotic walled capital city of Lo Manthang. Built in 1380 A. D. by the first King of Lo, the city stands as a testimony to Lo-Manthang prosperity of rich cultural heritage. The city wall some 700 m. long and 8 m. high, has a series of 14 towers along its periphery these were guard towers in the past protecting the town from its enemies. The Kings Palace is surrounded by a maize of gompas and private houses all enshrined within the city boundary walls. This trip is rated moderately challenging. Porters will carry all gear except individual participant's day pack. Walking time each day varies from five to eight hours depending on individual pace. Most days will involve crossing at least two passes at an altitude near 3500m. Although this trek is not an easy stroll in the park, anyone in reasonably fit condition and having the right mental attitude should do just fine.
