Exploration of the most isolated and unexplored corner starkly fascinating medieval Himalayan Kingdom of Mustang

After exploring the Capital City Kathmandu the next day we drive to Pokhara in our private coach, there we stay one night. Then the next day we fly to Jomsom to begin our classic trek to Mustang.

 The spectacular views of the Annapurna , Dhaulagiri and the nearby scenery of the green fields make a short trip as we land on the tiny airstrip of Jomsom. Moving to the North of Jomsom to the village of Kagbeni we cross a small hanging bridge walking along the bank of the Kaligandaki River . Our eyes will be focused on the abundance of beautiful big peaks all around us, such as Dhaulagri, Tukuche, Nilgiri the awesome mountain above Kagbeni and the entire massive Annapura on the southwest. Taking the high trails and the river bank pathways to Chussang the path remains interesting with the passing of the mule trains carrying goods from Mustang and Tibet . The breathtaking views of the Himalayas to the north is always there to encourage us to continue to our destination. The five villages in this area, Chele, Gyakar, Chussang, Tangbe and Tetang are culturally unified and closely related to the Managis people. As in all the settlements of Mustang, most houses are constructed out of mud and stones with roofs cast out of twigs, straw and a mixture of mud and pebbles, usually painted in bright white or ochre colors.

 The path to Samar provides us not only with change in the topography but also a distinctive culture, lifestyle and people. On our journey the landscapes are amazing, with brown hills, few trees and the Apple orchid. Then we are led to Tsarang where we can view a huge five storey monastery fortress perched on the edge of the Kali Ghandaki gorge, on the East End of the village. The Gompa houses represent an excellent collection of statues and Thankas. After exploring the Tsrang valley we gently climb above the valley to a large bloated Chorten that makes the boundary between the Tsrang and the Lo. Exploring the Lo-Manthang for two days will show us that this city is the Kingdom of the Mustangi King. His Palace is an imposing four storey building in the center of the city. The city is an absolutely fascinating place with narrow streets and houses built adjoining the city walls. The lifestyle of the people in this region is really something to reflect upon .We have reached the halfway point of the trek and return back to Jomsom following the same route. In Jomsom we'll enjoy the local culture and folk dance at night. Rising early the next morning we fly to Pokhara and in Pokhara we can enjoy the day, shopping, and exploring the city. The following day we catch our flight to Katmandu .
