Enter the Hidden Kingdom
For years, Mustang has beckoned trekkers to penetrate its dramatic, tawny and mysterious landscape. Tucked behind the Annapurna range, this former Tibetan kingdom was closed to outsiders until 1992.
Today, Mustang remains one of the most pristine examples of traditional Tibetan culture, with ancient cave monasteries, whitewashed villages, and a landscape of otherworldly beauty. The walled capital of Lo Manthang feels frozen in time.
