Upper Mustang Trek is the real privilege of trekking to the mystical land of forbidden Kingdom of Lho Manthang also called Lho which has been isolated from the rest of the world for many decades. Until 1950s, Mustang was a separate kingdom and Lho Manthang as a capital, is practicing Tibetan Buddhism and distinct culture. Opened just about 20 years ago to the foreigners is a highly restricted area and need restricted area permit. This trek passes through the one of the deserted mountain region and provides the spectacular views of mountain vistas.
Beyond the wall city of Lho, we visit Luri Cave Monastery from 14th century which is one of the most famous monastery in entire Mustang Region. The monastery lies on a ledge around 100 m high from the ground in one of the many natural pillar like sandstone structures. The Gompa contains two interconnecting chambers. The outer chamber contains Shrines and the inner chamber contains the main treasure of Luri Gompa- mural paintings of Mahasiddhas, saints who achieved Siddi, called enlightenment.
Our Journey to Upper Mustang and Luri Gompa begins with scenic flight to Jomsom from Pokhara and we start our trek to Kagbeni. We enter Upper Mustang Region from Kagbeni and follow the trail to Upper Mustang Trek passing by many culturally enriched villages of Chele, Geling, Charang. In Lho Manthang, we visit sacred monasteries and ex King’s Palace called as Tashi Gephel Palace built in 15th century by the first King of Mustang, Ame Pal. We stay extra night in Lho and do excursion to Chosar Valley which is famous for hosting many sacred sky cave monasteries. And from Lho, we trek to Yara, Luri Gompa and follow different trail to Muktinath via Tangte and Chusang. In Muktinath, we visit sacred Muktinath Temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu and end our trek in Jomsom.
We can trek to Upper Mustang around the year even in the monsoon as it is the rain shadow area but in the extreme winter, the people from upper region leave their village to avoid cold and snow. So makes the best season remains from March to November. We stay in tea houses during our entire trek with few nights in basis lodge beyond Lho until Muktinath.
