Nepal

Upper Mustang Trek

17 days

Trip Snapshot

It is designed best for those who have some kind of previous experience in high altitudes over (3840m/12599ft) and are habitual for walking 7-8 hours in a day which allows us to walk very long distances with the required amount of high altitudes acclimatizing. Also, the itinerary goes through the various landscapes and traditional Tibetan-like settlement. Please research and get consultation through our expert before the sign of the trip which will fit for you. The former Himalayan kingdom of Mustang is an arid and starkly beautiful land. Long protected from mass tourism; its allure has come from its inaccessibility and its reputation as the last bastion of traditional Tibetan culture. Mustang has a long, rich, and complex history that makes it one of the most fascinating corners of the Himalaya. Mustang is the ancient Himalayan Kingdom which lies in the northern central part of Nepal and at the top of the Kali Gandaki River. This region is full of some of Nepal’s oldest Buddhist Monasteries, ancient and isolated villages with quaint whitewashed houses. The restricted area of Tibetan influence lies north of Kagbeni, and Nepalese refer to this as Upper Mustang .By choosing Upper Mustang Trek through Mustang, we will be sampling a slice of history that may not be preserved for much longer. The sights of spectacularly fluted red cliffs and Mustang’s endless expanse of yellow and grey rolling hills will stay in our memory long after we go home, as will our experience of the Kingdom’s incredible little towns and the rugged gentility of its people. The trek takes us to the walled town of Lo-Manthang, a visually extraordinary place, home of the present Mustang’s King and full of beautiful temples and Gompa.
