Set deep in the Kali Gandaki canyon, the village of Chhusang is surrounded by gigantic red, orange and silver gray cliffs spotted with cave dwellings. It is an active farming community and a fairly large settlement inhabited mostly by a mixed ethnic group of Gurungs, Thakalis and some families from the land of Lo. Notice the piles of split wood on the flat roofs of the old stone houses. The layered logs serve twin purpose: during rains and snow they prevent the water from seeping into the homes, besides adding to the beauty of the homes.
A fascinating journey into Nepal’s most mysterious “Last Forbidden Kingdom,” the Upper Mustang Trek is nestled in the Himalayas, offering vast landscapes, rich Tibetan culture, and ancient monasteries. Over 12 days, trekking explores remote villages, stunning canyons, and the walled city of Lo Manthang-the capital of Upper Mustang.
This unique area can be entered through special permits, such as the Upper Mustang Restricted Area Permit and the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit. The best seasons for trekking include spring-from March to May-and autumn-from September to November-when the weather conditions are perfect.
Accommodations in teahouses, offering basic yet comfortable settings, provide a very cultural experience. Whether you’re a seasoned trekker or an inexperienced one heading out on an adventure, the Upper Mustang Trek offers lifelong memories and new experiences deeply connected with the rich heritage of Nepal.
