Detail Itinerary

Ever since this previously forbidden mountain kingdom was opened for tourists in 1991, the deluge of tourists flocking there has not stopped despite the US $ 700 special permit required to enter and spend ten days over there, following which an additional fee of US $ 70 per day is levied on extensions. Most trekkers prefer to fly to Jomsom rather than take the seven-day walk from Pokhara to reach it.

Lo is geographically and culturally a part of Tibet. The arid, barren land, with pockets of fertile oases, is unlike any other part of Nepal. The lifestyle of the Loba, people of Lo, is also unique. The trip to the capital of Lo, Lo Manthang, and back takes around ten days and can be done by partly retracing the way in or by taking a circuitous trail through the outposts of this ancient kingdom.
