Trek in Upper Mustang

Nepal, discover this 16-day trip

Trip Description

The Upper Mustang trek is not an ordinary isolated valley trek in Nepal. The entire Upper Mustang region – from the Tibetan border in the north to Kagbeni in the south – offers trekkers a number of unique experiences to nourish their eyes and soul. From the panorama of Nilgiri, Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, and other wonderful ranges to the south, to the trans-Himalayan climate (cool and semi-arid), through medieval Buddhist arts, architecture, exotic culture, and traditions dating from the 13th and 15th centuries, all these elements make this destination one of the most beautiful in the country. It offers a magnificent setting to visit Buddhist monasteries, the King's Palace – built around 1400 –, temples built in the 15th century, the opportunity to participate in the very famous Tiji festival, and to observe the indigenous culture of Lo Manthang as well as the very rare polyandry system. The trek to Upper Mustang is also another way to discover Tibetan culture and landscape.
