Nepal has always been renowned for its adventure, mountaineering, trekking, and diverse cultural experience. Trekking in the high Himalayas has always been a fashionable experience across the country, and the Mustang region is one of the best destinations for adventure seekers. The Mustang region includes the lower Mustang region that connects the world’s most popular Annapurna Circuit Trek and the Upper Mustang region, also called a hidden gem and desert of Nepal. The Mustang region trekking trails are exemplary for those who want to wander in the weirdness of the hidden valley of Nepal and a restricted region.
Mustang Region consists of ancient culture, practices, and festivals, along with the desert valley in the trans-Himalayas on the northwestern side of Nepal. The trekking journey to the Mustang region is a privilege to know the culture, people, festivals, and views. Being the restricted region of Nepal, the cultural and natural beauty remain the same as before in the Mustang region.
As the border of the uppeMustangng is connected with the autonomous land of China (Tibet), Mustang shares and exchanges most of its culture, traditions, rituals, and customs and trades with each other. Tibetan culture is abundant, especially in the Upper Mustang side. A vast and arid landscape will leave beautiful landscapes with its stunning terrain and topography. Somehow, you’ll also feel like a Grand Canyon-like terrain under the shadow of the Annapurna Himalayan range. Besides this part, the region is a high-altitude desert, deep gorges and valleys, lush oases, prayer flags, stupas, caves, medieval monasteries, stupas, and shortens, along with rivers and farmlands.
The Mustang region is divided into two different areas, Upper Mustang and Lower Mustang, with Lomanthang as the capital of the Mustang kingdom. LoweMustangng covers the Marpha, Jomsom, Muktinath, and Kagbeni villages, whereas UppeMustangng covers the ⅔ of the total area of the Mustang region. In both areas, a traveller can experience the authenticity of nature and culture at the same time. The Mustang region experiences less rainfall throughout the year, and the land is primarily rugged and dry due to the low precipitation rate. Likewise, you can explore this region throughout the year except in the prime winter season.
