Now, for the first time in recent history, foreign travelers are able to visit Lo Manthang, the seat of an ancient kingdom dating back to the 15th century. Now we take you to bike one of the most beautiful part on earth. Mountain biking in Upper mustang offers beautiful nature, ancient Tibetan culture, medieval villages, unexplored cave, Tibetan Buddhist monasteries, chortens, ancient art, painting and its tradition. The people of Upper Mustang are called Bhotias and those from Lo are called Lobas. They speak various dialects of Tibetan. Historically, their art and culture flourished due to contact with traders, monks and religious masters passing between Tibet and India, or between Ladakh and Bhutan.
