The Upper Mustang trek is an exotic tour to unspoil and ancient Tibetan villages, rare Buddhist arts, exotic culture and the unique beauty of the Himalayan desert. The medieval settlements of Upper Mustang and its capital Lo Mangthang, lie in the remote Himalayan desert behind the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountains. Geographically the land is an extension of the Tibetan plateau, characterized by windy and arid valleys, eroded canyons and unique stratified rock formations. The people in Upper Mustang are of Tibetan origin who migrated from Tibet many centuries ago, and belong to Bhotias and Loba communities. They practice Sakyapa school of Tibetan Buddhism. Upper Mustang is the only place in the World to see Tibetan culture in its completely undisturbed state. The houses and monasteries in here have their own unique local architecture and medieval look. Mostly they are built with stone and sun baked mud bricks. Upper Mustang is a land covering about 2,600 sq km in area and is home to 6,000 people. Festivals are religious in nature, the Tiji festival being the biggest. The capital called Lo Manthang , a walled complex with magnificent monasteries and the ancient houses of local nobilities, will be one of the main attraction of the trek. - See more at: http://www.pristinetrekking.com/index.php/upper-mustang#sthash.B1UHm0G5.dpuf

Recently, in 2007, an international team of explorers discovered invaluable objects of cultural and historical importance in Upper Mustang. In high caves which required technical climbing they discovered beautiful Buddhist murals, manuscripts and other historical objects which, according to them, date back to 800 year. Our Upper Mustang trek offers a rare visit to a place perfectly untouched by modernity, preserving its ancient Buddhist culture, traditions and invaluable art objects in high Himalayan desert. - See more at: http://www.pristinetrekking.com/index.php/upper-mustang#sthash.UBXJb0bN.dpuf
