CNN Travel Picks Mustang

CNN Travel has picked the Mustang as one of its top 23 destinations for 2023. The destination is located on the northern reaches of the Kali Gandaki valley in central Nepal. It is often cited as the "lost kingdom" and has been the subject of books and films. The region above 4000 metres is described as a region of fascinating cultural and archaeological interest. The residents of this area mainly practise Buddhism drawn from neighbouring Tibetan regions across the border.

 

A travel through these parts will give visitors a glimpse of real life among these hardy mountain dwellers. Surrounded by stark beauty of the Annapurna himalayas, arid yet fertile agriculture in "rain shadow" sustain the lives of the populace. The area is famous for the walled city of Mustang, its cave grottos that habour ancient dwellings and burials. Travel here is best during the summers April to September unlike the rest of Nepal.

 

 

A visit to Lower Mustang comprising the holy Muktinath temple and Upper Mustang to the famed "wall city" is highly recommended.
