Thus, trekkers also can visit upper Mustang in monsoon season. Several years ago, trekking used to be organized as camping or tent trek. Now, it is an alternatively developing simple tea houses. The Mustangis or the people of Mustang call themselves Lobas, and they have their own King or Tribe-leader, Jigme Palbar Bista. After Nepal was declared a republic in 2007, the Nepal Government took back the official recognition of the Bista as the Mustangi King. However, the people there still respect him as their King or tribe-leader. Bista also grants audience to the visitor upon request.
