Few regions of the great Himalaya remain unraveled. The ancient kingdom of Mustang in western Nepal is one of them. Only a handful of foreigners have crossed the high passes to the valley of Tholung where in lies the palace of Lo-Manthang, the seat of the King of Mustang, who is still in residence. From Kathmandu you drive / fly to Pokhara, than take the flight up the great Kali Gandakhi Valley to Jomsom where the trek begins. You ascend the ridge to the north of the town with a spectacular panorama of the Annapurna range rising behind you. The trail continues to climb onto this southern edge of the Tibetan Plateau towards Mustang. There are several pass crossings (the highest being the Nyi La at 3990m) all of which offer astounding views south to the Annapurnas and north to Tibet. From here you look down into the Tholung Valley to the walled city of Lo-Manthang. Three days here enables you to explore this remarkable medieval city with its monasteries and palace, or to ride ponies north to the border with Tibet..
