The former Forbidden Kingdom of Lo — a desert of red cliffs, cave monasteries and walled cities beyond the Himalaya, where Tibetan culture lives on.
Upper Mustang lies in the rain-shadow north of the Annapurnas — a high desert of ochre cliffs, eroded canyons and ancient walled settlements that feels closer to Tibet than Nepal. Once a restricted kingdom, it remains one of the most culturally intact corners of the Himalaya.
The journey leads to Lo Manthang, the medieval walled capital, past sky-caves, chortens and centuries-old monasteries — a living museum of Tibetan Buddhist culture in a spectacular arid landscape.
