kingdom of mustang
summer 2022
In Tibetan, Mustang means “fertile land.” Mustang, or the Kingdom of Lo, is an area located at the North-West of Nepal on the border of Tibet. Mustang was a prohibited area to foreigners until 1991. Formerly independent, it’s now an integral part of Nepalese territory. Located behind a mountainous barrier, Mustang sits in a rain shadow, unaffected by the monsoons, making summer a great time to trek in this region. It has a dry, desert-like, and windy climate. Here one lives with the rhythm of the seasons isolated from modern time. Fantastic canyons with red cliffs and Tibetan buddhist monasteries characterize the landscape. This is an exceptional voyage to a land with a rich culture full of legends and secrets.
