Upper Mustang Trek Overview
You will see the legendary kingdom of Mustang on the enthralling adventure known as Upper Mustang Trek. You will get to observe the region's distinctive culture and traditions while exploring. You will uncover a secret realm where you will witness Lo-Manthang, the historical Buddhist kingdom of Mustang. Currently, it is not allowed to visit Lo Manthang 5 Story Palace.
For a very long time, access to the Upper Mustang was restricted to foreigners to preserve the area's natural environment and rich cultural history. The Nepali government has enforced expensive entrance permission fees to regulate the flow of visitors in this area of Nepal to preserve the ecosystem. You will look at the untouched natural environment by going on the Upper Mustang Trek. There are no luxurious hotels or contemporary facilities available because the area has not been fully modernized. But you will be able to take in the stunning natural beauty, the amazing desolation, and the extraordinary creation of enormous boulders. Upper Mustang's desolate scenery is given a burst of color by the white-washed home, vibrant prayer flags, historic chortens, and lovely farms. You will be traveling over an old salt trade route when you go on the Upper Mustang Trekking. You can see the historic village of Lo Manthang in the distance as you approach the Lo La Pass. Long prayer wheels, unmarked chortens, and herds of animals ambling across the fields will be seen along the route.
The Upper Mustang Trek via Muktinath starts with a journey from Kathmandu to Pokhara where you will see mountains, ancient settlements, terraced crops, and rushing Trishuli and Marsyandi Rivers. You will take a flight the next day from Pokhara to Jomsom. You must hike to Kagbeni after landing in Jomsom. Your walk will continue to Chele after spending the night in Kagbeni.
You will go to Syangboche from Chele through a route that goes via the towns of Eklo Bhatti and Taklam High Pass. After that, you will go off on your hike from Syangboche to Ghami. This time, you will traverse the Yamada La Pass across a desolate terrain to get to Geling, Tamagaun, and eventually Ghami. Ghar Gumba will be your next trekking destination.
