17 Day Private Upper Mustang Trek

4.8 / 5 total 3 reviews
Duration: 14 days
Product code: 819
Overview

These days the jeep drive to Upper Mustang trekking especially during the Tiji festival period is very popular however Nepal Trekking Routes Treks would like to suggest visitors take the scenic mountain flight from Pokhara to Jomsom then start walking on the trail to Upper Mustang. This would be very helpful for the acclimatization purpose as well. 

The enchanting walking from the windiest town of Nepal Jomsom along the bank of Kaligandaki river can be wilderness adventure in itself while passing by the Kagbeni and Muktinath of the lower Mustang area. 

The Upper Mustang has its capital as Lo Manthang near to the Tibetan border and rich in monasteries blessed by Mother Nature and cared by the Nepali Tibetan Culture. Lo Manthang in local dialect refers to the place surrounded by walls. 

The villages like Chaile, Ghyaling, tsarang and Syanboche would be great place to observe the lifestyle of the people. The mysterious holes on the hills of the Upper Mustang trekking where ancient people and revolutionaries were used to live could be another major attraction of the region.

The cremation technique of the people and the various festivals could be another purpose of visiting Upper Mustang.

Trek to Upper mustang like pilgrimage site Upper Mustang trek was incredible I enjoyed a lot during the my day in mustang. I saw this is different Kingdome . I thought that was the cause Nepalese call Mustang is forbidden Kingdome. Their culture and tradition like Tibetan .The village, monasteries, cave and Kaligandaki valley is the combination of Mustang I saw beautiful Himalayan rang around the Mustang.The experience was adventurous, but gentle & not very strenuous. I would recommend it for family with children also.
