“

We were meant to go on the Upper Mustang trek to Lo Manthang, but they were having the snowiest winter in 10 years. We had to change our plans considerably and only made it as far as Tangbe. Mustang was beautiful and clear, especially with the snow, and we had the rare experience of seeing a snow leopard in the wild. From there we went closer to Pokhara and trekked around a bit before returning a few days early to Kathmandu. Our guide said that normally trekking in Mustang that time of year is doable, but it was too snowy for us to make it all the way to Lo Manthang. It was a unique experience. The tea houses were all super nice, and we enjoyed the food along the way.

Itinerary

Upper Mustang trekking offers an unrivaled opportunity to explore Nepal’s most mysterious and least-traveled kingdom. Known as the "Forbidden Kingdom," Mustang is a land of mountain deserts, ancient caves, and a rich, resilient culture preserved by centuries of isolation. Trekking here feels like stepping into Tibet, with its arid landscapes, walled cities, and unique heritage.

The route to Lo-Manthang, Mustang’s heart, is moderately demanding but accessible, especially since the area receives little rain—even during monsoon season. Trekkers are limited to 13 days in this restricted region, ensuring a sense of exclusivity and preservation.

The unique selling point of this tour is its blend of breathtaking desert scenery and living history. For experienced travelers or young adults eager for a cultural adventure, Upper Mustang provides a magical glimpse into a world untouched by modernity.
