Upper
Mustang Biking
Tour.
A superlative mountain Biking holidays in the
kingdom of Mustang in the Nepal Himalayas. North of the
Annapurna region in the Nepal Himalaya, the ancient and
mysterious 'Kingdom of Lo' (the proper title for
Mustang) is geographically and culturally a part of
Tibet. Off-limits as a trekking holiday destination
until a decade ago, this isolated kingdom of Mustang
prospered in the 15th Century, when its strategic
location enabled it to dominate the salt trade between
Tibet and Nepal. The excellent drover's trail which cuts
through Mustang, together with a number of impressive
wayside inns, are a legacy of this trade and now make
for ideal trekking territory too. After a flight to
Jomsom on the upper Kali Gandaki River between Annapurna
and Dhaulagiri, our trekking holiday to Mustang allows
us to explore a weird and wonderful landscape of eroded
conglomerate cliffs, colored by natural earth pigments -
reds, yellows, browns and blues. Trekking across passes
of up to 4000 metres (13120 feet), we will also be
walking through a succession of picturesque white
painted Mustang villages and Tibetan monasteries, set
against a backdrop of the distant snow-capped peaks of
the Himalayas. We have a day to explore our ultimate
destination, Lo Manthang, a fairy-tale walled city and
the capital of Mustang which is quite unlike anything
else in Nepal. This enlightening trekking adventure to
Mustang in Nepal will surely appeal to those looking to
explore a very special part of the Himalaya.
This is a rare opportunity to challenge yourself and
ride in this high altitude and remote region. This tour
kick off in Jomsom from where you bike to Kagbeni, a
relatively easy ride to enter the restricted region of
Upper Mustang. The upper Mustang area borders on Tibet.
It offers spectacular mountain and high
plain scenery and the chance to visit mystical villages
and monasteries. On this ride you mingle with yaks in
the high meadows and rub shoulders with nomads and
village people alike taking in their ancient culture and
way of life. |
