Upper Mustang Trek
The Upper Mustang Trek, often called the “Last Forbidden Kingdom of Nepal,” is a rare journey into a hidden Himalayan kingdom where Tibetan culture and traditions have remained unchanged for centuries. Nestled in the rain-shadow region of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges, Upper Mustang offers a surreal landscape of high desert plateaus, red cliffs, deep canyons, barren valleys, and ancient monasteries.
This trek combines adventure, culture, and history. You will explore medieval walled villages, centuries-old monasteries, and the majestic capital Lo Manthang, where locals still live a traditional Tibetan lifestyle. Along the way, travelers can admire the mystical Chhosar Sky Caves, ancient mani walls, and the colorful cliffs of Drakmar.
The Upper Mustang Trek is unique for its Trans-Himalayan desert scenery, which contrasts sharply with Nepal’s lush green trekking regions. This region requires a restricted area permit, ensuring a preserved and untouched environment.
Whether you are a photographer, a cultural enthusiast, or a traveler seeking off-the-beaten-path experiences, Upper Mustang offers an unforgettable adventure in Nepal’s most remote and mystical Himalayan region.
