A Great mix of Fun and Minimal Sightseeing
It is an overland trip where people can explore Mustang without walking. The slow pace and sightseeing tours made it comfortable and did provide spectacular views of the Himalayas and highlights of the culture.

A captivating adventure to the secret kingdom!
Another route that gives you the opportunity to see the isolated Mustang landscapes without trekking is the Kathmandu to Lo Manthang overland route. The scenic drives and cultural visits of the ancient streets of Lo Manthang made this tour memorable as well as I toured Kagbeni and wandered around the ancient streets of Lo Manthang.

Comfortable and Scenic Road Trip
The sofa-seated bus even made the long paths between Kathmandu and Pokhara and beyond to be very comfortable. I also enjoyed places such as Kagbeni and Ghami where I would have a taste of the local culture as I gradually climbed into the Mustang region.
