A few years back there used to be a king who ruled the area. The Government of Nepal recognized Jigme Dorji Palbar Bista as the last king of Upper Mustang. Still, the Nepal government has kept Upper Mustang as a restricted area. Hence, Tourists require a special restricted area permit entering the Upper Mustang area.

A separate king ruled the district of Mustang. He still has his place in Lo Manthang, which is the capital of Upper Mustang.
