Mustang Luxury Trek in the Annapurna region is one of the best walks on the foot of the Himalayas without engaging in strenuous hikes for weeks. The enriched Thakali and Gurung culture blended with Tibetan Buddhist Cultures, canyons and gorges of Kali Gandaki river, elegant mountains on the backdrop, and the cinematic landscapes of Jomsom to Kagbnei make lower Mustang heaven for a short and luxurious trekking destination.
Better known for ancient Tibetan Buddhism and the semi-autonomous region of Nepal, Mustang undoubtedly is one of the untouched landscapes in the world. Even with the flow of huge trekkers and pilgrims each year, the natural sceneries, landscapes, lifestyles, traditions, and hospitality are timelessly intact.
Lower Mustang, an Inspiring Himalayan Desert
Mustang, the countryside behind the towering Annapurna range, falls under a rain shadow. As a result, the entire landscape is arid, withered, dusty as the wind blows in the afternoon, but awe-strikingly amazing. Due to less or almost zero rainfall, people call it a Himalayan desert. However, the famous Apple Orchards of Marpha in Jomsom give life and greenery to the landscape. Furthermore, the Buckwheat and Potato farmlands during August shower ornate Jomsom and surrounding landscapes.
As a trekker, you can enjoy the Lower Mustang Luxury trek in Summer to enjoy the vibrant landscapes with the nostalgic petrichor, a smell of mud after the drizzles.
