The Mustang region is tucked away from the rest of the world, right to the north of the major Himalayan range of Nepal. This is why this is one of the few areas where you can trek in the summer months, not affected by the monsoon rains. Enter a completely different part of Nepal, both culturally and in terms of landscape. Experience the exotic culture of the mountain people like Thakalis, Tibetan and Gurung and immerse yourself in the local culture, which has survived for centuries in the driest place of the country.

Mustang literally means “fertile land” in Tibetan language. Once an ancient kingdom of great importance, today Mustang is one of the most unscathed places on the Earth, a far cry from the postmodern world of today. The Upper Mustang trek is definitely one of the most enigmatic and unforgettable adventures you will embark on. The Kingdom was a restricted demilitarized area up until 1992, and is now one of the most conserved regions in the world today.

The Upper Mustang Trek is relatively easy in terms of difficulty. We will trek along the permitted route of the Lo Manthang to reach the maximum altitude of 3,840m. Join our Upper Mustang Trek, a 14-day journey to the land beyond the mountains, to the kingdom within a republic where till today the king is worshipped as divine.
