Trip Overview

The journey in detail

Trek into the rain-shadow of the Himalayas to explore the hidden kingdom of Mustang. Known as Lo, this arid region is a landscape of eroded clay cliffs, ancient sky caves, and whitewashed villages. Rich in ancient Tibetan culture, the trek leads to the walled capital of Lo Manthang, where the local palace and monasteries host century-old frescoes and rituals untouched by modern development.
