Trekking Mustang was officially opened in 1992 to limited numbers of trekkers each year in order to protect and conserve the local Tibetan tradition and the fragile environment. Mustang, the Kingdom of the Holy King seems to take you back hundreds of years to a place where time has stood still for centuries as the inhabitants of Tibetan stocks continue to live, cultivate and commerce the way that they have done since time immemorial. Trekking this region is the opportunity to explore the western mountain region with stupendous wilderness, spectacular scenery, snowcapped peaks and many 16 th century monasteries of Nepal. The panorama to the ranges of Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri & Annapurna are indeed exceptional like a balcony, which we follow during the trip. High black and brown deserted hills decorated by paddy and barley fields, and the windy atmosphere of the day follows us on the trip. Tiji festival is one of the attractions of this region. During the festival time monks dressed in elaborate costumes and masks perform dances and rituals that are meant to drive away evil spirits. Dressed in their finery, people from all over Mustang in Lo Manthang celebrate the Tiji festival. It generally falls during the spring.
