Upper Mustang Trek offers a daring experience for enthusiast trekkers in the remote trans- Himalayan mountain region; the ancient forbidden kingdom of Nepal. Upper Mustang Trek trek starts from Jomsom through Kagbeni, and then intersecting the cosmic Kaligandaki river, heading towards Lo Manthang.
Upper Mustang Trek – possesses a trans- Himalayan climate; cool and semi-arid with precipitation located in the rain shadow of Mt. Annapurna and Mt. Dhaulagiri (the 7th highest mountain in the world) ranges.
Being rich in Buddhist culture, Upper Mustang gratifies the visitors to experience the Tibetan culture and beautiful barren landscapes as it is part of the Tibetan plateau. Also, 55 cave paintings depicting the life of Lord Buddha – Light of Asia can be observed in Upper Mustang Trek.
Kagbeni is a gateway to enter the Upper Mustang Trek and you are required to hold the special trekking permit along with the companion of a government official during the entrance to the gateway.
