Lomanthang Trekking













Lomanthang Trekking is starts from lunar landscape of the forbidden close to Mustang offers a true contrast to the conventional treks in Nepal.Lomanthang is quite unlike in Nepal. The barren landscape of the Tibetan plateau throws up a fascinating concoction of medieval culture,manastic charms and spiritual purity unparallel else where in the Himalayas. Mustang is the very essence of the Himalayan experience, which is barren moonscape of sandstone pillars, discontinues marine terraces and treeless barren landscape.
After a day in the Kathmandu valley and observe the many fascinating things. Trek starts from spectacular flight west along a range of massifs to Pokhara where you will stay the night. The following morning fly into the heart of the Annapurna region to the gates of the Kali Gandaki River, landing at the mountain strips of Jomsom ( 2800 m ).From here you embark into a different world as the moonscape of the Tibetan plateau represent hues of gray, brown and red. From this area you can view deserted Westland dotted with settlement and frequently by people who work hard in the dry soils. The people of the valley were once very auspicious from a busy trade in salt between Tibet and India, but nowadays, time is harder. In the high site sandstone cliffs above the trial, towers of rock have been eroded into attractive shapes by the wind and hermit caves are testament to the dedication of money monks of the region. Fossils underfoot remind that the high plateau you are trekking to once a seabed. From time to time the wind plays as messages for the yak caravans up the valley and from the Buddhists monasteries, the prayers horns can be seen haunting in the thin air. The lonely lammergeyer soars high to the above, perhaps searching out the next sky burial. It is an eerie sensation to be in these mountains, yet utterly captivating.The treks leads up the Kali Gandaki river valley towards the capital of the kingdom, Lomanthang a city with a royal palace, temple, monasteries and growing culture. The people in this city are surprisingly sophisticated. But it is the many villages on the route into and out of Mustang which make this journey such a rewarding one. With several passes over about 4000m, it is also interesting, experience and mind blowing trek.
