Upper Mustang Trek

The Upper Mustang Trek is a moderate to challenging trek that takes you through a stunning landscape of semi-arid desert, colorful rock formations, deep ravines, and snow-capped peaks. The trek also offers a chance to experience the unique Tibetan Buddhist culture of the region, with its ancient monasteries, traditional villages, and cave dwellings.

Here are some of the highlights of the Upper Mustang Trek:

The walled city of Lo Manthang, the capital of Mustang

The Muktinath Temple, a sacred pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists

The Mustang Mustang Caves, some of the deepest caves in Nepal

The dramatic scenery of the Kali Gandaki Gorge, one of the deepest gorges in the world.

In common usage, the name Mustang refers to the arid Tibet-like region at the northern end of the Kali Gandaki (known to its inhabitants as Lo). Mustang has a long, rich and complex history that makes it one of the most interesting places in Nepal. The early history of Lo is shrouded in legend, myth and mystery, but there are records of events in Lo as early as the 8th century. It is quite likely that the Tibetan poet Milarepa, who lived from 1040 to 1123, visited Lo. In Lo itself the countryside is similar to the Tibetan plateau with its endless expanses of yellow and grey rolling hills eroded by wind. There is more rain in the lower part of upper Mustang and the hills tend to be great red fluted cliffs of tiny round stones cemented together by mud. Villages are several hours apart and appear in the distance almost as mirages; during the summer season, after the crops are planted, they are green oasis in the desert-like landscape.
