This once independent kingdom, now part of Nepal, has only recently been opened to foreign travel, and allows only 5000 tourists access per year - priority is given on a first come, first served basis.

Founded in 1380 by Ame Pal, the Kingdom of Lo-Manthang was much later annexed by Nepal in the 18th Century. The Mustang District (as it is now called) is home to the medieval walled city of Lo Manthang – many of it’s most important buildings, including four major temples and the King’s Palace, remain almost untouched since their construction centuries ago.

The people call themselves Lobas - the people from Lo - and though linguistically and historically they are closely tied to Tibet, the Lobas have developed a distinct culture and economy of their own. Nepal abolished the monarchy in 2008, but Jigme Dorje Palbar Bista, the direct descendant of the founder and first king of Lo-Manthang (via 25 generations) still resides here in Lo Manthang.

Note: By law, every trekking group must be accompanied by a Government liaison officer from Nepal, with each visitor required to pay a restricted area entrance fee of US$ 700.00. The fee allows 10 days from the date of entry. If visitors wish to proceed to other areas north of Lo-Manthang such as the Garphu, Nyaphu and Chosar Gompas, an additional US$ 210.00 per person is levied.
