Nepal : Upper Mustang Valley Trekking / Mini Tibet Trekking in Nepal

Upper Mustang Trek is the best way to do it simply and also it is one of the preferred trek route in Nepal. Mustang is located in the vicinity of Nepal, along the border with Tibet and also with full of rocky barren mountains, deep valleys, eroded cliffs and Moraine valleys.  As you may not know that the meaning of Mustang is “Fertile Plain”. Upper mustang is a barren valley with Trans Himalaya. This pace used to be an important route for crossing the Himalaya between Tibet and Nepal. During the time, many of the old salt caravans passed through Mustang. It’s an area where we will trek to, exploring the wonders of the architecture, language, culture and traditions which are almost purely Tibetan.
During the Upper Mustang Trek, you’ll experience an astonishing wilderness, one with untouched high desert mountain scenery, snowcapped peaks, old monasteries and many other unique sights. The sight of Kali-Gandaki valley, vast spaces around Kagbeni and vast ridges that straggle high mountains provide a mind-blowing experience.  A trek into this legendary forbidden kingdom of vast, dry valleys, ochre valley, yak caravans, colorful-painted mud brick houses, and majestic mountain of Nilgiri, Tukche, Annapurna and Dhaulagiri makes your primitive walled kingdom Mustang trekking a very especial one. Trekking in Mustang is truly one of the most pleasing experiences in Nepal. So, through this trek you will have a close up view of the primitive society that has remained unaffected by modernization for centuries.
The Lo Manthang which is the capital of Upper Mustang Trek, lies in the far-flung Himalaya desert behind the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna mountain ranges, is an historic Tibetan Village, with rare Buddhist arts and exotic culture. We, The Nepal Trekking Company offer you this package in an affordable price. Our aim is to meet your time frame for Nepal holiday.
