Nestled in the rain-shadow of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges, Upper Mustang offers a unique blend of rich Tibetan culture, stunning landscapes, and ancient history. Upper Mustang, often referred to as the “Last Forbidden Kingdom,” was restricted to outsiders until 1992. This isolation has preserved its ancient Tibetan Buddhist culture, reflected in the architecture, traditions, and lifestyle of its people.
