Mustang Region
Mustang region is an ancient forbidden kingdom, bordered by the Tibetan plateau and sheltered by some of the world's tallest peaks, including 8000-meter tall Annapurna and Dhaulagiri. Tibetan customs have been preserved thanks to strict rules for visitors. Due to its relative remoteness from the outside world and the fact that the bulk of its inhabitants still speaks traditional Tibetic languages, Upper Mustang was a restricted demilitarized area up until 1992, making it one of the world's best-protected places. The Tibetan term "Mustang," which means "Plain of Aspiration," is the source of the name. Only in 1992 was Upper Mustang made accessible to foreigners (annual quota at present of 1,000 people). It is a well-liked trekking location that is open all year (regardless of season).
In the Dhawalagiri Zone is the Mustang District. The main office is in Jomsom. Located in a 3,573 km2 region, the district contains 14,981 residents. There are multiple peaks above 7,000 meters, and the elevation spans from 1,372 to 8,167 meters (Mount Dhaulagiri, the eighth-highest mountain in the world). The two main professions are agriculture and animal husbandry. The largest protected area in Nepal, the Annapurna Conservation Area, covers the entire district. The Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP), a branch of the National Trust for Nature Conservation, is largely in charge of managing development initiatives, tourism management, and other issues (NTNC)
