Hidden behind the Himalayan giants Dhaulagiri and Annapurna,
Mustang is a small area that lies in the southern border of the Tibetan
highland and is a restricted area that requires a special trekking permit
through a registered trekking company like Nepal Planet Treks and ExpeditionsPvt. Ltd. The Mustang trekking trail consists of treeless deserted scenery,
vertical rocky paths up and down the hill and beautiful views of Mt.
Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, and Annapurna, Tukuche peak, Mustang Himal, Tilicho peak,
Arniko Chuli and many other splendid peaks.
The route to Mustang demands traveling transversely through
arid landscape with barren edges, deep gorges, moraine valleys and eroded rock
faces. The trail features barley fields and grazing lands where sheep are seen
grazing, and horses walk by carrying heaps. The views of the desolate Kali
Gandaki valley, almost infinite spaces surrounding Kagbeni, sharp ridges and
elevated mountains sum up to an amazing experience for adventure lovers.
Trekking in Mustang is really one of the most gratifying
experiences you can get. Also, you will get a firsthand glimpse into the
ancient Buddhist culture in the area that has been untouched by modernization
for centuries. The Mustang trek as designed by Unique Adventure International
can be also referred as the “Rhododendron trek” because it takes you to
different varieties of rhododendron forests and looks absolutely enchanting
during the spring season because of blooming rhododendrons. Moreover, you will
come across the Thorang La pass (5417 m) where you will enjoy some stunning
high Himalayan scenery over the Kali Gandaki valley, with the entire Annapurna
range, Mukut and Mustang Himal overlooking your trek from the west.
We begin our biking tour from Besisahar in the lush central
hills, riding our way through the beautiful path until we enter Yak Kharka
(4000 m). From here, the track is vertical up to the base camp of Chulu East.
Then we follow the route climbing to the summit of Chulu Far East which is
pebbly, icy and very much vertical. From the top of Chulu Far East we will get
some spectacular close-up views of Annapurna I, II, III, IV, Manaslu,
Gangapurna, Chulu West, Pisang Peak, and the north part of Himlung Valley. After
mountaineering, we move towards Manang and on the next morning, we take a bike
ride to Thorong La Pass (5416 m) and continue riding along the way to a holy
Hindu temple – Muktinath. Finally, we reach Jomsom from where we can fly back
to Pokhara.
