Mustang is a very popular trekking route in Nepal since government was announced the opening of restricted area in 1991. However, there is strict control over obtaining special permit from the Department of Immigration, in order to protect local traditions from outside influence as well as to protect their environment. The region of the Kaligandaki from the Tibetan border south to Kagbeni is generally referred to at Upper Mustang. The Trek to Lo Manthang passes through an almost tree less barren landscapes.
