Prayers for Nepal
同是山區的Ladakh沒受太大影響，好像只是有房子輕微受損，但知道友人回去了Upper Mustang，輾轉知道那裡還好，人也沒事，我也放下了一點點心。

太正了, 上木斯塘, 我也很想去啊, 但門票要500美金...
上木斯塘（Upper Mustang），是尼泊尔境内最少健行客前往的地域。除了因为需要申请昂贵的准证，也因为这个地域非常荒凉，村落很少，设施也相对落后许多。这里也曾经很长一段时间与外界隔绝，2008年以前还是一个独立的王国，之后才成为尼泊尔的一个县。
在古代，木斯塘是喜马拉雅早期王国“洛域”（Lo）的所在地，藏语为“南方之地”的意思，不管是在语言或文化上，都和西藏是一脉相承的。自15世纪以来，这里大概是世界上藏族文化保存得最传统的地方。
木斯塘曾经是连接西藏的盐矿和印度次大陆地区城市最便捷的通道。当时的食盐可是世界上最珍贵的日用品之一，而在木斯塘的鼎盛时期，载着成包食盐的牦牛队或大篷车，就在这里的小径上崎岖前行。
如今健行客行走在这片地域，会有越走越孤寂的感觉，壮阔的荒山大地，放眼望去，尽是荒凉。每当翻越一个山口，伫立山头，环绕四周，总有苍凉之感，而见到了有绿田的村子，也就如在沙漠中遇见绿洲一样让人咱暂缓一口气。
相比尼泊尔其他经典健行路线，上木斯塘绝对是独特的，这片荒寂大地给予的冲击，在回到喧嚣城市之后，孤寂的回音依然在心里回荡，久久不散。
Up until 2008, Upper Mustang was an autonomy kingdom, when its monarch ceased ruling, it becomes part of Nepal’s Mustang District. Formerly known as the Kingdom of Lo, means “land in the south” in Tibetan language, Mustang is historically and culturally linked to Tibet, and steep in Buddhism tradition. Due to its remoteness, it has preserved perhaps the most authentic Tibetan culture to these days.
Upper Mustang sits on the ancient trans-Himalayan salt trade route between Tibet and India. Salt was a precious commodity in the old days, during the heydays of salt trade, yak caravans formed a beeline and passed through this high arid valley. The landscape here is mainly desert-like barren hills, due to limited rainfall, offering views of eroded canyons and colourful stratified rock formations. Despite the harsh environment, human settlements have sprung up along rivers and creeks over the centuries, as well as ancient cave-dwellings on the cliffs. Today, villages with whitewashed houses and cultivated fields appear like oasis in high-elevation desert.
Trekking in this remote region, journeying through its barren and lonesome landscapes, one would feel immense helplessness and loneliness, even after returning to the bustling city of Nepal, a sense of solitude continue to echo from the mountains.

Crank up the volume for music and see the Annapurna Circuit through the eyes of a mischievous 11-year old boy. Watch us deteriorate as we drag ourselves over Thorong La 5,416 meters (17,769 feet). We trekked around Annapurna in Nepal with Lionel over Christmas (yes, boy with long hair!). Lionel was really determined to make it and was actually faster and stronger than his parents ... We were all pushed to our limits and left gasping for breath the day we crossed the high pass – but felt a real sense of achievement.
The Annapurna Circuit is widely regarded as one of the top 10 treks in the world. It has an incredible variety of landscapes. You start below 1,000 meters (3,280 ft) in rice paddies and banana plantations, go through pine forests, past Tibetan Buddhist villages, before tackling the high altitude pass of Thorong La. On the other side, you discover the high altitude desert of Mustang and the deepest valley in the world, the Kali Gandaki.
Lots of research and training went into this two-week trek. We love the great outdoors, and Lionel has been a keen hiker from a very young age. We’ve taken several family trips to the Tibetan plateau in winter, and Kirk and I trekked to the Gokyo Lakes in the Everest region 13 years ago. But this was the first time we tackled such a challenge as a family.
Most travel agencies recommend you should not take children above 3,000 meters (9,840 feet). We looked into easier options, including the Annapurna Sanctuary and Kopra Danda – but Lionel was very keen to scale Thorong La. And we felt he was ready to do it, and we had the experience to guarantee his safety. We played it safe, hiring a guide and two porters to help us -- and we would not have been able to make it carrying all the gear ourselves.
Winter offers clear blue skies and stunning views of the Himalayas. You only meet a handful of people every day, and it's easy to get a room in lodges. A total of 60 people crossed Thorong La on Dec 27, and only 30 the next day.
On the down side, it's bitterly cold at night in unheated lodges. And snow storms can cross the pass at any time. This would mean waiting for a few days for the pass to reopen, or turn back and hike for a week.
This is a high altitude trek. Best to resist the temptation to take the jeep road high up, as you increase your risk of suffering from acute mountain sickness. Give yourself time to acclimatise, and watch out for signs of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), or worse - HAPE or HACE. It is also essential to have proper equipment to trek in snow, not just for yourself, but for your porters and guide, if you have them.
Remember that over 40 people died around Thorong La on October 14, 2014 when a massive snowstorm hit the Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and Mustang areas. Hiking at that altitude always carries a risk.
We organised this trek through Friends in High Places Himalayan Trekking, who provided a guide (Pasang Dawa Sherpa) and two porters (Sonny and Pinju). We would not have been able to complete this trek without them.
