Upper Mustang Trek explores the forbidden Buddhist Kingdom, Lo Manthang, and takes you across the mysteries and, myths thriving alongside locals. One of the biggest flexes about Upper Mustang is it was closed to foreign travelers for decades. Remaining untouched by the rest of the world for such a long time has preserved and protected the lifestyle and rich cultural heritage of the locals. Over the years, the traditions, practices, and beliefs of the locals have evolved in their distinctive way.
Upper Mustang Trek follows one of the driest regions of Nepal. Upper Mustang is an arid river valley located further north of Kagbeni. The trail winds through numerous ascend and, descend, crossing many passes, suspension bridges, remote villages, and forests. Upper Mustang shares an open border with Tibet, which is one of the reasons that make the area a restrictive part of Nepal. Only a handful of trekkers trek in this region every year, making the trail less crowded and unspoiled. Travelers need to get a special expensive permit from the government of Nepal to go on this trek.
As the region is located near Tibet, many things about the locals here resemble Tibetans, including their language, dress, culture, and philosophical outlook. The trek offers stunning views of the Himalayan mountains like Annapurna I (8,091 m), Mt. Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), Mt. Nilgiri (7,061 m), and many others. Likewise, you will get to see breathtaking scenery, unlike any other place in the Himalayas. The trail is pleasant and involves many Chortens, monasteries, prayer wheels, mani walls, and fluttering prayer flags.
