Visit of Lo Manthang

Duct system leads the water to certain streets, where it is used among other things for the laundry.

Animals and humans live here together in an unforgettable atmosphere of the old town surrounded by beautiful rugged landscape.

Time passes here slowly, there is no hurry: relax, chatting with friends and rhythmic movements of prayer wheel.

The first tourists here were allowed in 1992 and even today is the number of foreigners regulated due to the necessary entry permits. But Lo Manthang is the natural destination of mustang trek and it is visible based on the number of visitors.

Women's club has found its place in the shade of narrow streets.

Lo Manthang is near to the border with Tibet. Paved road to the pass Kora La (4 660 m asl) brings a lot of goods from China as well as trade opportunities to locals.

The old mixes here with the new. The new, however, is here often an intruder, which is difficult for rough and at the same time vulnerable beauty of the local nature to cope with.

The capital of the kingdom „Lo“ was established in 1380. There are several interesting Buddhist buildings, five-story royal palace and the last king from 25th generation lives here. Kingdom Lo officially ceased to exist on the basis of legal action of Nepalese government in 2008.

Life-giving water brings moisture, which in turn green. Neighborhood is however governed by rough and at the same time magnificent mountain sceneries.
