Mustang which lies cross the Himalayan range has its own distinct and unexplained presence. Located in the foothills of the Annapurna and Nilgiri mountains Jomsom is a key point along the Annapurna trek circuit which is accessible by road as well as direct air link from Pokhara.

Mustang which was prohibited for foreign tourists up until 1992 continues to exhibit the embodiment of hundreds of years of Buddhism’s cultural identity. Historical records show that more than three centuries ago, Mustang served as the main trading centers between Nepal and Tibet. Situated on the northern side of Mount Annapurna Mustang receives very little rain. The Kaligandaki river which runs across the district is also known as Thaak- Khola. The upper northern part of the district is known as Lomanthang.
