Like Dolpa, Mustang had been a
forbidden land thus far. It is opened for a limited
number of tourists. Lo Manthang (Mustang) is located
north of the main Himalayan chain between the snow
capped mountain on the east and west bordering Tibet
and, relatively wide and leveled ridge towards north
with pass not higher than 4,600 m. The climate and
land is dry and arid. Villages are located in the
valley at the altitude of 3,300 m. to |
 |
|
4,000 m. where important historical
sites are also located. It was an important salt
trading post in the trans Himalayan belt. From
Kagbeni to Tzug; as you walk towards north the Kali
Gandaki valley extends and becomes broader. Walk to
Samar; it is surrounded by the ruins of temples and
fortes. Visit the famous cave at Rongbyoung Chorten.
It has carvings of many deities on the stone walls:
the figure of Padmasambhava dominates all the
deities. The famous cave speaks of the history of
this valley of Lo before the advent of Buddhism. The
travel from Giling to Tsarang pass through important
ruins at Gemi. As Tsarang is approached after
crossing the passes the monastery is evidently
visible. In the monastery the fresco painting of
thousand Buddha, hanging thankas and antique
ceiling, and other sacred objects are reminder of
its rich cultural past.
After Tsarang the walk to Lo Manthang is short. It
is dotted by houses and monastery enclosed in the
fortress. The route to Lo have been used for
centuries by traders and few scholars; and now by
the tourists. |
