valley is situated in the north of Annapurna himal and it
is bordering to Tibetan plateau(China). It is used to be called
Mustang kingdom. It was founded in the 15th century by a Tibetan
monarch who consolidated various small local fiefdoms into
the Kingdom of Lo. Though it was eventually incorporated in
to Nepal. Mustang has remained isolated .its reputation as
wild country was reinforced by the Tibetain guerilla fighters
who sheltered here in the 1960s to make daring raids on the
Chinese across the border .Following their expulsion by Nepalese
army troops in the early 1970s. Even after it was included
in the Nepalese territory , entry was tightly rusticated for
foreigners. In 1992, Nepalese government declared the opening
of Mustang. It is still fresh in people’s memory. During
the trekking on this course, you will be visiting villages
that are still retaining old Tibetan culture in a desolate
desert area. It is one of the very different trekking in Nepal.
