Overview of Upper Mustang Trek
Are you a wonder seeker and storyteller? If so, then you must come to Himalayan Hope Treks’ Upper Mustang Trek which will take you to such part of the Nepalese Himalayas that resemble the huge maze of multicolored rocks, gorges, canyons, and caves.
Our Upper Mustang trek will in fact give you the incredible chance to stay and explore the nearly forgotten former Kingdom of Mustang, see the villages that evoke the past eras’ memories, and visit the time stood eternal monasteries.
You will be surrounded all the while by the ice giants of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna that line your Upper Mustang trek trails. But the highlight remains the excursion of Lo Manthang, the very old royal capital.
Until, 1992, the Upper Mustang trek remained strictly forbidden and even to this day, very few tourists step inside this massive unique land due to its restrictive nature which is one of the region’s greatest attractions.
The other attraction of this journey is that it allows you to be very close to the everyday lives of the unique Lopas, the primary inhabitants, and the locals of the area.
Their Buddhist tradition somehow differs from the Sherpas or Tamangs giving you glimpses of authentic Tibetan practices. Thus this trek will make you feel like you are more in Tibet than Nepal.
The Upper Mustang trek trail lacks difficulty but remains challenging because of the very dry and arid air and high elevations. But those who crave for adventure to the legendary locations of the world, the Upper Mustang trek will be the perfect one.
