Your trek resumes for Lo-Manthang as you walk through the Dhakmar Pass. The past is really magnificent, as there are natural rocks that look like ice, and the architecture is made by human beings. From the pass, you will reach the Ghar Monastery, a red in color, which stands for its 1200 years old historical importance. Continue your trekking to Lo-Manthang. Lo Manthang was formerly a walled capital of the Lo Kingdom. Lo is culturally and linguistically Tibetan northern two-thirds of Mustang District. The homeland of the Thakali people, who speak a different language and have a synthesis of Tibetan and Nepalese culture. The village is noted for its tall whitewashed mud-brick walls, gompas, and the King’s Palace, nine-cornered, five-story structures built around 1400.
There are four major temples: Jampa Lhakhang or Jampa Gompa, the oldest, built in the early 15th century and also known as the “God house”; Thubchen Gompa, a huge, red assembly hall and gompa built in the late 15th century and located just southwest of Jampa Gompa; Chodey Gompa, now the main city gompa; and the Choprang Gompa, which is popularly known as the “New Gompa”. The presence of the architecture in the almost treeless, barren landscape, which together presents a colorful mosaic made up principally of earthen reds, yellows, and browns color mosaic has increased the value of this destination.
Includes: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, English-speaking trekking guide, Porter, and an overnight accommodation at an available local lodge in Lo-Manthang.
