Mustang:

Known as the Forbidden Kingdom that borders the Tibetan plateau, Mustang has long been out of bounds to travellers. Cut off from the world till recently, it is slowly opening its doors to curious travellers, and offers a glimpse into a protected culture guarded by some of the world’s highest peaks. Highlights include a sunrise chopper ride over the Annapurna massif, villages lost in time, a 600-year old monastery, Tibetan dishes, world heritage sites, the world’s largest mountain river basin, and more.
