Mustang Trip - My First Ever Post
Hi everyone,
This is my very first post. I am new to this community .I am still learning , I hope I will get a warm welcome from this community. Here today, i am sharing my few pictures of trip to mustang.
Mustang - The district straddles the Himalayas and extends northward onto the Tibetan plateau. Upper Mustang, the former Lo Kingdom comprises the northern two-thirds of the district. This kingdom was a dependency of the Kingdom of Nepal since 1795 , but was abolished by the republican Government of Nepal on October 7, 2008.

Trekking in Upper Mustang is a rare privilege. Here you will experience the way of life of true mountain people, who were not much in touch with the rest of Nepal for hundreds of years, and even until recent times had an officially recognized king.
Upper Mustang, being in the Himalayan rain shadow, is one of the regions in the country suitable for trekking even during monsoons. During this time, the upper Kali Gandaki valley is still quite dry with only occasional rainfall.
The Mustang trek is not particularly difficult, the highest point reached being only 3,800 meters, but the conditions at times can be arduous. Mustang is cold in winter and is always windy and dusty through the year.
Winter treks are best avoided due to harsh weather.
Mustang trek requires a minimum of 9 days, starting and ending in Kagbeni. This allows the trek to be completed within the 10-day period that the permit allows. The route generally follows the Kali Gandaki valley but, occasionally climbs high above the valley walls.
To enter Upper Mustang,i.e. to travel further north from Kagbeni, trekkers need special trekking permit and must be accompanied by a government appointed officer.
Hope you guys liked my first post. I'll be posting posts like this in the future related to my trips to different places of Nepal.
