Mustang has
often been called the forbidden kingdom. The region is
only opened for a limited number of tourists per year. Lo Manthang (Mustang) is located north of the main Himalayan chain
with snow capped mountains to the east and west while bordering Tibet
to the north. There is a relatively wide and leveled ridge towards the north with passes not higher than 4,600 m.
Falling within the Himalayan rain shadow, the climate and land is dry and arid.
The historical villages of the valley rest at the altitudes
between 3,300 m and 4,000 m. The region was once an important salt trading post in the trans-Himalayan belt. From Kagbeni to Tzug as you walk north to the Kali Gandaki Valley, the valley
grows broader. Walking towards Samar, you are surrounded by the ruins of temples and fortresses.
Along the way you will visit the famous cave at Rongbyoung Chorten
with its many stone carved deities. Most prominent
being the figure of Padmasambhava (the Indian Guru who
brought Buddhism to Tibet). The journey from Giling to Tsarang passes through important ruins at Gemi.
After crossing the passes in the approach to Tsarang, the large monastery is evidently visible.
The monastery houses fresco paintings of a thousand Buddhas, hanging thankas, antique ceiling,
as well as other sacred objects, reminders of its rich cultural past. After Tsarang, the walk to Lo Manthang is short. It is dotted by houses and monasteries enclosed
within fortress walls. While the route to Lo has been used for centuries by traders and a few scholars,
only now are tourists being allowed to tread these
historic paths.
