Many centuries ago Mustang was a part of Tibet and later annexed by Nepal in the 18th century. It was only during the 1950s and 1960s that a few visitors to Nepal were given the opportunity to visit the kingdom for anthropological research. However, the Nepalese Government re-opened the region in 1992 The trek to Mustang is a spectacular walk through Trans Himalayan terrain that contrasts wildly with the lush fertile hills and valleys located to the south of the main Himalayan chain. Mustang is a barren landscape with only a few small green fields dotting a lunar landscape, but boasts a remarkable spiritual heritage.
