Overview
Upper Mustang, the former forbidden kingdom of Lo, is one of the last bastions of traditional Tibetan-Buddhist culture. Lying in the rain shadow of the Himalayas, it is a surreal high-desert landscape of ochre cliffs, eroded canyons and whitewashed villages, crowned by the medieval walled city of Lo Manthang. This guided overland tour takes you through ancient monasteries, sky caves and timeless settlements, with all special restricted-area permits arranged on your behalf.
