The last king of Mustang still has his home in the prehistoric capital known as Lho Mathang. Upper Mustang is highly restricted. To enter Upper Mustang, that is to travel supplementary north of Kagbeni trekkers need a special trekking permit and must be accompanied by a government appointed official.

Until recent times their king was officially recognized by the Government of Nepal.
