Upper mustang- A forbidden kingdom:
Brief Introduction:
Mustang, a region in northern Nepal, has found spot among the top three regions in Best in Travel 2013 by renowned travel guide book Lonely Planet.Life in Mustang revolves around tourism, animal husbandry and trade. Mustang is also known as "Tibet outside the Tibetan Border" for it survived the Chinese invasion of 1951 and hence fosters much original Tibetan culture, although it is now politically part of Nepal and, except for a nine km portion from Chhusang to Syangboche (just south of Ghiling (Geling)) as of August 2010, it is bisected by a new road linking it to Tibet to the north and to the rest of Nepal to the south. Plans call for the final nine km portion to be completed in just a few years' time, which will provide, with a high point of 4660 m at Kora La on the Mustang-Tibet border, the lowest drivable corridor through the Himalayas linking the Tibetan Plateau via Nepal to the tropical Indian plains. (The easiest and only widely used road corridor, from Kathmandu to Lhasa via the Araniko Rajmarg (or Araniko Highway, traverses a 5125 m pass.)
                                                 Upper Mustang consists of two distinct regions: the southern part and the northern part. The southern part is similar to the rest of Tibet. The Northern part was forbidden and isolated so the languages and traditions were able to evolve into a unique and rich culture. Mustang is perhaps the last enclave of pristine Tibetan culture. Lo-Mustang, the capital is a walled city ruled by religious king. Untouched by modern civilization, life in Mustang goes on as it has for centuries in an unhurried pace. As everywhere in the Himalayas, this area provides spectacular mountain scenery highlighted by Dhaulagiri at 8167 meters (26,795ft) and Annapurna I at 8091 meters (26,545ft). You will be surrounded by more than 35 mountains over 6000 meters (19,680ft) high. The elevation of the the trails rise from 2815 meters (9,233ft) to 3780 meters (12,398ft) above sea level.

Mustang is largely dry and arid land with the altitude of 3240m.
