Welcome To Our Website
Mustang Trek
Desolate landscapes and
lavishly adorned monasteries, great rivers and fields created
through the painstaking labor of humans over time, with the
highland that extends endlessly northward and the pristine peaks
of Annapurna and of the Nilgiri, which mark the horizon to the
South, there are few places in the length of the great chain
that cast anything like the spell of Mustang.
This trip gives you the opportunity to go where few have been
before. Most of the trek keeps to arid, high deserts inhabited
mostly by people of Tibetan stock. The men folk are either
traders or farmers while the women mostly tend the fields. Along
with insights into the everyday lives of the people of "Lo" you
will have the opportunity to witness their vibrant culture and
also a chance to get a look at Lama Buddhism little changed by
time. |
