The Kingdom of Mustang, Tibet
14 March, 2016
Where
Why now
Prior to 1992 no Europeans were officially allowed to set foot
in Mustang, now only 700 visitors are permitted each year. It is
one of the few places where you can still witness untouched Tibetan
culture.
When to go
May to October for the best weather and perfect views. Try and
go during the Tiji Festival if you can, a celebration of good over
evil.
Who to take with you
A guide.
Most likely to bump into
Not many people. Only about 1,000 people go each year.
Don’t miss
Dozens of white-washed Buddhist monasteries and the ancient
capital city of Lo Manthang where the royal family still
reside.
An essential you need to bring with you
A scarf or something to cover your face from wind and sand.
