Description:
|
ustang is from outside influence as well as to protect the environment. This semi-autonomous, heavily Tibetan influenced region was described by Tilman as "fascinatingly ugly country, the more fascinating for being so little known." Indeed, the trek to Lo Manthang is through an almost treeless barren landscape, along a steeply undulating rocky trail, from which there are panoramic views of Nilgiri, Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and a range of other soaring peaks.
