Mustang is very popular trekking region in Nepal since the home ministry of
Nepal announced the opening of restricted areas in October 1991. However, there
is strict control over obtaining special permits from the department of immigration
in order to protect local tradition from outside influence as well as to protect their
environment. The region of the Kaligandaki, from the Tibetan border south to Kagbeni,
is generally referred to as “Upper Mustang”.
The trek to Low Mustang passes through
an almost tree-less barren landscape. A steep rocky trail climbs up and down hill with
panoramic views of Nilgiri, Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and several other peaks, making a truly memorable trekking.
