Mustang in top three in Lonely Planet list

Internationally renowned travel guidebook Lonely Planet has listed Nepal’s Mustang as one of the top three regions in Best in Travel 2013 - Top 10 regions.

It is a last chance to see ‘forbidden kingdom’ as the completion of a road connection Mustang to China in the north and rest of Nepal to the south will make all the difference to this remote region, according to the Lonely Planet.

“Nepal, which is being repeatedly listed as a favourite destination in Lonely Planet and CNN, reflects the fact that the effort that the country has put together for promotion of tourism has been paying back handsomely,” director at the Public Relation and Publicity department and spokesperson of Nepal Tourism Board Aditya Baral said.

Having listed in both Top Regions and Best value destinations for Best in Travel 2013 series, Nepal is undoubtedly a favourite destination to travel in 2013, he added. Earlier last month, Nepal has been listed in Lonely Planet’s ‘Best value destinations’ for 2013, under ‘Best in Travel’ annual series.

Lonely Planet, writes, “With visitor numbers steadily rising, Nepal remains a tremendous option for budget travellers. After all, the number of countries where you can live on the price of a Starbucks latte or two are diminishing rapidly. Sure, to do that you’ll need to stay in budget accommodation somewhere other than Kathmandu and resolutely stick to simple local food, but many consider this a price worth paying for paying a low price. Though costs rise once you enter national parks, if you’re up for trekking on your own and staying in teahouses, Nepal is not only the best-value spot for Himalayan hiking, it must be a contender for offering the most astonishing rewards for the least upfront investment of anywhere in the world. In fact, this remains true even if you factor in a porter and guide and opt for an organised trek.”
