The small kingdom of Mustang, closed to westerners until 1992,
is an enchanting land of windswept vistas, red walled
monasteries, and feudal towns. This tiny kingdom was not only a
major corridor of trade from the 1400's to before the Chinese
occupation of Tibet, but also figured importantly into early
Buddhism in Tibet. Local legend tells the tale of the great
founder of Tibetan Buddhism, Padmasambhava, who before building
Samye (the oldest monastery in Tibet) came to Mustang to stand
guard against and do battle with the evil powers out to destroy
Buddhism. The temple of Lo Gekhar in eastern Mustang was built
by Padmasambhava after his triumphant battle and still stands
guard today.
Our route will take us across the vast Kali Gandaki Riverbed, up
over windswept passes at 4500m. and across the 'Plain of
Aspirations' to the walled capital city of Lo Manthang. All this
through a landscape of indescribable vastness and beauty, home
to the infamous snow leopard, the endangered Gharal (blue
sheep), and the mythical mehti (abominable snowman). With
thousands of snowcapped peaks and bathed in hues of orange and
red rocks with sporadic fields of vibrant green, yellow and red
of barley, maize, and buckwheat, Mustang is a step back to a
simpler time. |
