Mustang is an ancient Himalayan Kingdom which lies in the northern central part of
Nepal and at the top of the Kaligandaki River. Upper Mustang consists of two distinct
regions: the southern part and the northern where the languages, culture and
traditions are alike to those of the Tibetan people. This area is consider
as one of the most interesting and picturesque places in Nepal. The whole
area has an isolated and mystical feel to it, enchanting and inspiring visitors
to this region.
The trek to Lo- Manthang is through high altitude desert country climbing in
and out of the huge sided valley of the Kali Gandaki. In places the gorge which
the Kali Gandaki River runs through is the deepest in the world. This region
is full of some of Nepal’s oldest Buddhist Monasteries, ancient and isolate
villages with quaint white washed houses

                           high above a pass of 3850meters. The trail goes through a grassless,
                           treeless bare hill. After the pass the trail again drops directly to
                           Tangbe village at an elevation of 3370m.Tangbe is a small village of
                           around 30 houses but most of the houses are attached to each other.

                           The trail walks through a steep ridge of hills providing some fine
                           views of the wind carved hills. Tetang village is formed between 2
                           hills; they should have found it a safe place to avoid the strong
                           wind that hits the entire Kaligandaki valley. Tetang is the upper
                           village of the Chuksang, which we visit on the first day entering
                           to Mustang from Kagbeni. Overnight at tented camp
