Upper Mustang Trekking

Mustang Trekking in Nepal offers one of the most unique and culturally fascinating trekking experiences in the Himalayas. Located north of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges, the region—known locally as Lo and internationally as Mustang—was once a secluded Himalayan kingdom, often referred to as “The Forbidden Kingdom.” Opened to foreign trekkers only in 1992, Mustang remains rich in ancient Tibetan culture, medieval villages, and centuries-old monasteries built along the historic Kali Gandaki trade route to Tibet. Situated in the rain shadow of the Himalayas, the Mustang region features a striking arid landscape of deep gorges, eroded cliffs, and high desert terrain, distinctly different from other trekking regions of Nepal. The Upper Mustang Trek, with its stunning scenery, deep-rooted history, and authentic Himalayan culture, offers an unparalleled combination of adventure, heritage, and off-the-beaten-path discovery unlike anywhere else in Nepal.
