The Trans Himalayan Mustang Region is also known as the Last Forbidden Kingdom, since the region was restricted to outsiders until Nepal Government announced the opening of the restricted areas in October 1991. The Mustangs or the people of Mustang call themselves Lobas, and they have their own King or Tribe-leader, Jigme Palbar Bista. After Nepal was declared a republic in 2007, the Nepal Government took back the official recognition of the Bista as the Mustangs King. However, the people there still respect him as their King or tribe leader. Bista also grants an audience the visitor upon request. There is also strict control in obtaining a special permit from the Department of Immigration to protect their traditions from outside influence as well as to protect their environment. The Upper Mustang trek starts from Jomsom to Kagbeni, the entry point of the Upper Mustang Region. Follow the banks of Kaligandaki River upstream to get to Lo-Mangthang, the capital of the upper Mustang.
