Trip Overview

The Mustang trek in Nepal is a captivating adventure that offers a unique blend of natural beauty, rich culture, and historical significance. This trek takes you through the remote and isolated region of Upper Mustang, which was once a separate kingdom with its own monarchy. Trekking in Nepal’s Upper Mustang region allows us to experience the distinctive features of the rocky routes, treeless terrain, and views of the Himalayas, including Nilgiri, Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and others.
