16-day trek in Upper Mustang, Nepal

Infuse yourself in the spiritual mountains as we go on a 16-day trek through stunning landscapes, and experience ancient Tibetan Buddhist shires and monasteries as we interact with native Tibetans.

Mustang, also known as the Mini Tibet of Nepal, is a very popular trekking route, yet has only been open to the outside world since 1992. Before then, the region was banned for foreign travelers.

Our trek begins at Jomsom, a great place to begin, with its diverse landscapes and cultures found along the way.

We eventually reach Lo Manthang, the capital of Upper Mustang, which lies in the remote Himalayan desert, behind the mountain ranges of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna. This ancient traditional Tibetan village is home to rare medieval Buddhist arts and a fascinating culture.

We continue forward through a treeless landscape, with steep rocky trails that roll up and down the hills, and majestic panoramas of Nilgiri, Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, as well as other peaks.

Witness the heavenly Tibetan Buddhist shrines of Kaanis, Chhortens, and the Bodhnath Stupa, the 130-foot dome that dominates the skyline. Also, see the prayer walls and centuries-old monasteries. And interact with the Tibetan people to make this trip more memorable.

We’ll trek past the cave hermitages that dig into the cliff, and are more than 3,000 years old.

Due to the level of difficult involved on this trip, such as the long days of trekking at high altitudes, it is recommended that participants have a good level of fitness.

Reserve your place atop the mystical mountains where the cultures of Nepal and Tibet blend to form a unique atmosphere, and an excellent location for this 16-day trek to Upper Mustang.
