Destinations: discovering Mustang on horseback, the Himalayas riding with Nepal's little heroes<\/a><\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

There are places that seem suspended between earth and sky, and Mustang is one of them. An ancient Himalayan kingdom, nestled between  Nepal  <\/a>and Tibet, Mustang is an arid and spectacular plateau, where mountains reach heights of 7,000 metres and villages seem to have been carved out of the wind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Starting from <\/span>Jomsom<\/strong>, a town at an altitude of 2,700 metres, means leaving the modern world behind and embarking on a journey back in time, along a <\/span>equestrian ring<\/strong> <\/span>which crosses canyons, sacred rivers, Buddhist monasteries and stone villages. But the real stars of this adventure are them: the  <\/span>Mustang ponies<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Small, sturdy and sure-footed on all types of terrain, these native horses have grown up breathing the rarefied air of the Himalayas. Their endurance is astonishing: they tackle steep climbs, dizzying trails and high altitudes with a steady, tireless gait. And with them, you feel like you can go anywhere. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On horseback, you can reach remote places such as <\/span>Lo Manthang<\/strong>, the ancient fortified capital, and the villages of Ghami, Charang and Chhusang. Along the way, you will encounter  <\/span>mandala carved into the rock<\/strong>, colourful stupas and yak herders. Every day is an immersion in the spirituality and raw beauty of deepest Asia. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The return to Jomsom closes a circle made up of <\/span>dust, wind, encounters and silence<\/strong>. A journey that is not only geographical, but also inner. And which, thanks to the small horses of the  Mustang<\/a>, leaves an indelible mark on the heart…<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
