Upper Mustang Trek Overview

The Upper Mustang Trek begins with a scenic flight to Jomsom and follows the Kali Gandaki Valley into the remote landscapes of Mustang. The trail passes through charming villages such as Kagbeni, Chele, Ghami, Tsarang, and finally reaches the ancient capital of Lo Manthang.

Unlike many trekking regions in Nepal, Upper Mustang lies in the rain shadow of the Himalayas, making it an excellent trekking destination even during the monsoon season. The region’s unique geography, rich Buddhist heritage, and well-preserved culture provide a truly different trekking experience from the popular Everest and Annapurna regions.
