Overview

Upper Mustang Trekking to the hidden valley of Mustang is a fabulous and unforgettable tour for the trekkers. This is one of Nepal’s most mysterious and least known trekking. Mustang is one of the few places in the Himalayan region that has been able to keep its traditional Tibetan culture. Authentic Tibetan culture survives only in few places like Mustang. It has long historical and cultural ties with Tibet.

Mustang has a landscape of a barren moonscape of eroded sandstone pillars and discontinuous moraine terraces; which together present a colourful mosaic made up principally of earthen reds, yellows and brown. Relatively, it is easy to trek along the permitted route to Lo Manthang, which lies in the very heart of Mustang. Upper Mustang trekking trail passes through an almost tree-less barren landscape. Strong winds howl across the area in the afternoon, generally subsiding at night. Mustang has much less rain than the rest of Nepal; it is also familiar as rain shadow of the Himalaya.

Mustang lies in the rain shadow of the Himalayas is perhaps the last territory of pristine Tibetan culture. This region is also forbidden & isolated from other parts of the world, however, it is able to evolve its own distinctive culture and tradition; which is so rich & unique. Lo-Mustang is the capital which is walled city ruled by a religious king. Life in Mustang goes on as it has for centuries in an unhurried pace and untouched by modern civilization. As everywhere in the Himalayas, Upper Mustang Trekking offers spectacular mountain scenery highlighted by Dhaulagiri (8167m/26,795ft) and Annapurna I (8091m/26,545ft). In this region, more than 35 mountains surround you having over 6000 m/19,680ft high. The elevation of the trails rises from 2815m/9,233ft to 3780m/12,398ft above sea level.
