upper Mustang trek

Damodar Kunda region is famous for the Hindu religion. Its lake is situated high up in a rain-shadow area of the Himalayas north of the famous Annapurna range  between Kagbeni and Muktinath. At an elevation of 5400 meters it is a cold and windy place, but also very beautiful.

The Mustang Teri La Pass Trek follows a fascinating trail across the almost barren but beautiful landscape of Mustang,

In Tibetan, Mustang means “fertile land.” Mustang, or the Kingdom of Lo, is an area located at the North-West of Nepal and it borders Tibet. Mustang was a prohibited area to foreigners up until 1991. Formerly independent, it’s now an integral part of Nepalese territory (since 1951.) Located behind a mountainous barrier, Mustang sits in a rain shadow, unaffected by the monsoons. It has a dry, desert-like, and windy climate. Here one lives with the rhythm of the seasons isolated from modern time. Fantastic canyons with red cliffs, chimneys of fairies, & monasteries; Lo Manthang, the royal capital city strengthened by high Mustang, is an exceptional voyage to the meeting of an authentic culture full of legends and secrets.
