Upper mustang
The trans-Himalayan region is explored on the Upper Mustang Trek, which features semi-arid desert, unusual rock formations, deep ravines, old caves, and snow-capped mountains. The Upper Mustang’s very distinct geology and climate create a landscape reminiscent of Tibet. The intriguing old Buddhist kingdom of Lo-Manthang is best accessed through Upper Mustang Trekking. Upper Mustang, which is located distant from modern towns, has preserved its unique culture, history, and habits for many years.
You will see and experience a very old way of life, ancient monasteries, fortresses, and many mani walls during the Upper Mustang Trek. You will pass a lot of stupas, gompas, chortens, and prayer flags on the way. Starting in Jomsom, the walk progressively ascends to Lo-Manthang.
You will pass through a number of tiny roads, apple orchards, moraines, and passes on the way. Because most of the Upper Mustang region is covered by the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri peaks’ rain shadow, you may trek there even during the rainy season, which is one of its best features.
Upper Mustang Journey is a challenging and wild trek through the Himalayas. From breathtaking vistas of the Himalayan ranges, including Mt. Annapurna (8,091 m), Mt. Machhapuchhre (6,993 m), Mt. Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), Mt. Nilgiri (7,061 m), Tilicho Peak (7,134 m), and Yakawa Kang (6,482 m), to the Kali Gandaki river, an ancient river that originates on the Tibetan plateau.
Amazing natural treasures can be enjoyed on the Upper Mustang Trek. According to the Nepali government, in order to participate in Upper Mustang Trekking, you must trek with a recognized local firm that has a licensed guide and two other people in the group (excluding the guide). The authorities have taken many cautious measures to ensure that our visit to this remote area of the Himalayas doesn’t hurt it in any way.
