Overview
The Upper Mustang Trek takes one right into the core of one of Nepal’s most historical and remote regions. Referred to as the “Forbidden Kingdom,” Mustang used to be a restricted area, and its cultural heritage is uniquely intact. Further, the trek goes to an ancient Tibetan Buddhist culture with monasteries and caves, along with stunning landscapes at almost every turn. It begins with a serpentine track that goes along and winds its way across rugged topography to spectacular journeys through the Kali Gandaki Valley to the ancient capital, Lo Manthang, undisturbed by time, a city full of rich traditions.
You also cross some high deserts on the way, get fabulous views of Dhaulagiri and Nilgiri, including other surrounding Himalayan peaks, find hidden caves, and you may even get some chances to venture into ancient Buddhist shrines.
