Mustang prospered in the 15th Century, when its strategic location enabled it to dominate the salt trade between Tibet and Nepal. The excellent drover's trail that we follow on our trek, together with a number of impressive wayside inns, are a legacy of this trade and now make for ideal trekking territory. After a flight to Jomsom on the upper Kali Gandaki River between Annapurna and Dhaulagiri, our trekking holiday in Mustang allows us to explore a weird and wonderful landscape of eroded conglomerate cliffs, coloured by natural earth pigments - reds, yellows, browns and blues. Trekking across passes of up to 4000 metres (13120 feet), we will also be walking through a succession of picturesque white painted villages and Tibetan monasteries, set against a backdrop of the distant snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas. We have a day to explore our ultimate destination, Lo Manthang, a fairy-tale walled city and the capital of Mustang which is quite unlike anything else in Nepal. This enlightening trekking adventure in Mustang will surely appeal to those looking to explore a very special part of the Himalaya.
