✦ The Forbidden Kingdom
Mustang
Remote desert valleys & ancient caves
✦ About this destination
Beyond the Annapurnas lies a landscape that looks borrowed from Tibet — ochre cliffs, whitewashed villages, and a sky that goes on forever.
Mustang was closed to outsiders until 1992. It still feels that way.
✦ Why stay here
Three reasons.
01
Lo Manthang
The walled medieval capital, untouched for centuries.
02
Sky caves
Thousands of cliff caves carved into the canyon walls.
03
Tibetan Buddhism alive
Monasteries that still function as they did 600 years ago.
