The kingdom of Lo, Upper Mustang is called the forbidden kingdom as the doors for foreigners were not opened until 1992. As the kingdom is so remote and isolated, the culture and the tradition of the place have remained intact and untouched.

As the region is remote, it is one of the restricted areas of Nepal. You required a special type of permit and should trek along these routes under the supervision of the clients. Moreover, it requires a pair of travellers. As the place is a rain shadow area, the region faces monsoons rarely. Thus you can trek in the region all year round. No monsoon rain can cause a hindrance for you to travel in this region.
