## About

Upper Mustang Trek

The Upper Mustang region, located in the northern part of Nepal, is a hidden gem in the Himalayas, offering a unique and mesmerizing upper mustang trek experience.

Highest altitude of Upper Mustang Lo Manthang trek is 3840 meters / 12598 feet above sea level. Mustang is hidden behind the spectacular Himalayan ranges.

This remote and mystical land is often called the “Last Forbidden Kingdom,” as it remained restricted to outsiders until 1992, preserving its ancient Tibetan culture and breathtaking landscapes.

Trekking in Upper Mustang is a journey back in time, where you’ll find yourself surrounded by rugged canyons, dramatic cliffs, and otherworldly desert terrain.

The centrepiece of this adventure is the ancient walled city of Lo Manthang, with its rich history, monasteries, and a close-knit Mustang community.

This trek is not only about stunning natural beauty but also a cultural immersion into a way of life that has remained largely untouched for centuries.

As you traverse the arid landscapes and engage with the local people, you’ll gain a profound appreciation for the unique traditions and customs that define this region.
