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, with easier access by new roads, the spirit of old Tibet lingers on in its cultural treasures: walled cities, crumbling fortresses, inaccessible cave dwellings, ancient monasteries 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 first edition of this ground-breaking travel guide, packed with cultural detail, is an indispensable companion for those exploring this lost paradise by road. Whether by 4x4 Land Cruiser, jeep or Scorpio... by Royal Enfield motorcycle or mountain bike... on four legs (horseback) or your own two feet... this is the definitive guidebook!
