People and Mountains of Upper Mustang, Nepal. The Forbidden Kingdom.
To the north of the Annapurna Mountain range is the ancient Kingdom of Mustang. It has been off limits to trekkers but recently has started to allow travellers in. The landscape is remote and stark and the villages incredibly picturesque. The capital town is Lomanthang which has existed since 1380. The King still lives in the town and he is a direct descendant of the town's founder; a lineage of 25 generations. Part of my route was in the footsteps of an exploratory trek made by Major Bill Tillman (1898 - 1977) around 1950. He was an English mountaineer, author and explorer and renowned for his Himalayan climbs.
People and Mountains of the Makalu region, Nepal.
Makalu is the 5th highest mountain in the world and the southern approach is through forests, deep valleys and isolated settlements that few trekkers visit. The people are some of the friendliest I have encountered on my travels.
