Overview
About Mustang
Upper Mustang, once a forbidden kingdom, offers a landscape unlike anywhere else on Earth. Ancient Tibetan Buddhist culture, dramatic red sandstone canyons, and the walled city of Lo Manthang — all set against the rain-shadow of the Himalayas. This is a region of profound beauty and cultural preservation.
