Mustang trek is one of the most historical and mysterious treks in Nepal.

The territory you will walk through used to belong to the Mustang kingdom that existed here from the end of the XIV century till the year of 2008. It was a forbidden place which was opened for trekking only in 1992.

Though today this is a part of Nepal, known as Upper Mustang district, culturally and geographically it is very similar to Tibet. And the local people, living here, are called Shamanism.

Snow peaks, deep canyons, caves, cliffs, valleys and spectacular 16-th century monasteries – these all are just a small pieces of what this region can show to the tourists.

This land is also popular among the Hindus pilgrims. Snow peaks like Nilgiri, Tukuche and Muktinath are famous shrines in Hinduism.

Mustang territory lies 200 kilometers inland, so you will be able to discover how beautiful and unique Nepal is.

Do you want to enjoy the unspoiled nature of Himalayas and to have a lifetime journey? Then choose the Mustang trek trails with its dramatic landscapes and rewarding places to visit. You will have them in your memory and heart forever.

    After an early start we have a good view of the village of Tetang, which consist of two separate settlement surrounded by high walls and from distance looks like a large fort. The ascent to a plateau is steep and the trial here can be rather difficult to locate. After ascending high in the valley, the trial makes right turn and the pass becomes visible above. At the pass, the mountains seem amazing close, with Thorang la, looking particularly impressive, having large glaciers clinging to its steep flanks. It is a moderate walk down to Muktinath with stunning views of Dhaulagiri, Appanurna, Tilicho and Nilgiri. Muktinath is very famous between Buddhist and Hindus pilgrimage. There are 108-spring water surrounding the temple and Hindus people bathing here as well. Beside this, Muktinath is the legendary flame coming out of a rock.

    As we begin the final day’s hiking, today we take a side trip to the Bon Punt soling monastery in Lubra, from a small hill the views of Muktinath are good and it is plain that much of the valley is used for agriculture. We soon reach the Panga Khola valley and the track follows the course of the river, but high upstream. We have to cross the river and walk downstream on the other side, which seems like a major detour but is necessitated by the steep cliffs further down. After a steep ascent and descent, we come to an area of pine forest – a surprising change of scenery! We are high above the river again and must cross two bigger side valleys on the way downstream. Eventually we come to some fenced-in fields and a garden with apple trees, near Lubra’s village school. The settlement of Lubra consists of about 20 houses near a bend in the river and was founded in connection with the establishment of the Bon Punt soling monastery in the 12th century. This is one of the very few Bon monasteries remaining in Nepal. Bon was the predominant religion in Tibet before the spread of Buddhism and is also called the fifth tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. In the monastery are pictures of four Lokapalas and Buddha Shakyamuni. Bags of masks hang from the ceiling. It is still the tradition today that the head member of Lubra’s nine major families automatically becomes a priest. After Lubra, the trail leads to the Kali Gandaki and we have to leap across the river Panga a couple of times! At the confluence of the two rivers we join the caravan of tourists going to Jomsom.
