Upper Mustang trekking is popular not only for Tibetan Buddhist but also for exploring the canceled valley of Upper Mustang in Nepal, which is very different from the rest of Nepal. The walled city of Lo-Manthang, known as Upper Mustang, was once part of the Tibetan Kingdom of Gungthang. Among the embellishments of Lomanthang are crabbing monasteries that have been rebuilt and filled with the sound of bald-headed children in robes staying in the ancient Buddhist ways. While Upper Mustang Trekking was officially opened in 1992, it is still listed as a restricted area of Nepal, which requires a special permit.
