JOURNEY TO THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM – UPPER MUSTANG

from ₹0.00

TBA FOR 2025

On request

The Kingdom of Lo-Manthang or Mustang, situated at an altitude of 3770m, was an independent kingdom within Nepal, with its King having allegiance to the King of Nepal. Though the people call themselves Laobas—people from Lo—they are very much Tibetan and practice a sophisticated culture and economy. The King’s palace is an imposing 4-story building in the center of the walled city. It is the home of the past king, Jigme Parbal Bista. The honorary title “Bist”—a high caste title in Nepali—was conferred by the King of Nepal. Though his duties were largely ceremonial, he was respected by the people. Despite the apparent squalor of Lo Manthang, the city is prosperous and maintains a strong sense of community.
