Mustang is a magical and mystical Shangri-La. Hidden for centuries behind the Himalaya, this high and wild land has remained almost untarnished. As Mustang stirs into modernity, the spirit of old Tibet lingers on in its cultural treasures: walled cities, crumbling fortresses, ancient monasteries, inaccessible cave dwellings and secretive religious art. The wildest dreams of nature unfold: a panorama of strangely eroded fairytale outcrops, pinnacles and twisted turrets. Mysterious canyons and fantastically etched, contorted cliffs are painted in a myriad of vivid colours.

The aim of this trekking guide to Mustang is to introduce not only the different trails, but also the amazing, almost unique, culture. Each of the monasteries and hidden cave shrines of Mustang holds a spellbinding allure. In one or two of the caves, even stranger and very dark secrets from the ancient past have been unearthed.

Mustang is undoubtedly changing, but no earthly mortal can tear apart the phenomenal sights of nature here - only nature herself and those fiery, hot-headed demons that are suppressed by the stronger forces of the cosmos.

The fifth edition of this ground-breaking guide, packed with cultural detail, is an indispensable companion for those discovering this lost paradise, whether partly by new roads, occasionally on four legs, or entirely on two feet.
