Hidden behind the giant peaks Dhaulagiri and Annapurna, Mustang lies in the southern border of the Tibetan highland and is one of the restricted areas which require a special trekking permit through a registered trekking company to visit.
Mustang trekking consists of treeless deserted scenery, vertical rocky tracks up and down and beautiful views of Mt. Dhaulagiri, Mt. Nilgiri, and Mt. Annapurna, including many other peaks such as Tukche peak, Mustang Himal, Tilicho peak, and Arniko Chuli.
The route to Mustang implies traveling through landscapes of arid regions, barren edges, deep gorges, and moraine valleys and eroded rock faces. Also, barley fields and grazing land where sheep are seen grazing and horses are used to carry heaps. The views of the desolate Kali Gandaki Valley, almost infinite spaces surrounding Kagbeni, rambling ridges and elevated mountains offer an amazing experience for adventure lovers.
Trekking in Mustang is really one of the most gratifying experiences you can ever acquire. You will also get a chance to explore the ancient society that has been untouched by modernization for centuries. This Mustang trek can be also referred to as the Rhododendron trek as it takes you to different varieties of rhododendron forests and it looks more beautiful during spring season because of blossoming rhododendrons.
On this trek you will also get to cross Annapurna Circuit's Thorong La Pass (5417m.) where you will enjoy some absolutely stunning high Himalaya scenery over the Kaligandaki valley through the entire Annapurna range, Mukut and Mustang Himal to the West. This trek will also take you to Mesokunda La pass (5315m) which allows you to witness the large Himalayas and the route to this pass is covered by snow almost all the time. You can go for this moderate and strenuous trek during spring, summer and autumn.
We kindly refer to the Day-by-Day itinerary for a detailed itinerary description.
Located in a small valley north of Manang, Chulu West Peak attracts hundreds of mountaineers and thrill seekers every year. Join us on this 20-day, guided expedition to the top of the peak that is part of the Annapurna massif, standing at an elevation of 6,419 metres.
Your adventure starts from Kathmandu. Head for Syange via Besishahar on the second day of this trek. See roadside villages along the way. Get off the vehicle on reaching Syange. The trail from Syange moves up north to Chulu West Base Camp through villages surrounded by the snowcapped peaks of Annapurna region. Enjoy magnificent views of Annapurna II, III, IV, Manaslu, Gangapurna and Tilicho Peak along the way.
The summit ascent will be overseen by expert mountaineers who will support you in every step of the way. Necessary gear along with advice on proper climbing techniques will be provided at the base camp before you start your ascent.
Reaching to the top of Chulu West Peak demands both physical and mental commitment. But you will be generously rewarded for all the effort you put in with a breathtaking Himalayan panorama that includes Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and Nilgiri, among other mountains. Cross the famous Thorong La Pass and see the Muktinath Temple on your way down to Jomsom.
Spring and autumn are the best seasons to carry out this climbing trip. Your return journey also involves flying from Jomsom to Pokhara. Spend a night in Nepal's lake city before driving back to Kathmandu.

We went on a 8 day trek to Jomsom/Muktinath. This trek has lost its popularity over the years because of the jeep road, making it easy to cover the distance by car. But that made the experience less touristic and more authentic for us. With on average 6 hours of hiking every day, the views of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri (2 of the 10 highest mountains in the world) were stunning.
The nature was blooming: Nepal's national flower Rhododendron was flowering in a beautiful dark red color, and we ate delicious, freshly picked Nepali oranges on the way.
The culture was most interesting: some of the architecture of the old villages we passed through made you feel like you were going back in time. Most of the people still work by hand. We saw women next to the road smashing large rocks into smaller ones using a hammer!
Special thanks to our guide Dev, who is very knowledgeable and caring, and porter/hero Nema, who saved my girlfriends hat which fell into a canyon after a strong wind caught it. We enjoyed every minute with them!

Here is an amazing opportunity to get away from the usual, more crowded trekking destinations. The recently opened Mohare Danda (3313m) is a perfect alternative. Stay in community-owned lodges or homestays, a great way to appreciate the local traditions and lives of the people in this region. The focus of this trek is to protect the natural environment and to give trekkers a feeling of being part of the community when they stay with families who live in this wonderful location.
The Mohare Danda Trek in the foothills of the Annapurna Region is also known as the Eco-Lodge Community Trek. This region is rich in fauna and flora with dense pine, oak and bamboo forests – especially rhododendron forests and their magnificent pink, white and red flowers. From a vantage point of over 3000 meters, you will have breathtaking panoramic views of many large mountain ranges in the Himalayas, such as the 120 km long Dhaulagiri Massif and the Annapurna Massif.
This trek is also cultural experience that brings you in direct contact with local families in Magar and Gurung villages. Trekkers will appreciate the unique culture and hardiness of the villagers living in this remote region. Their genuine smiles are infectious and their kindness is second to none.
The Mohare Danda Trek is a perfectly suited short trek for individuals and families that begins at Pokhara and heads into the incredibly beautiful Annapurna region. We will take care of all paperwork and permits, and all meals and accommodation are included in the package!
Join us on this 15-day, guided trek and explore some of the most breathtaking locations in the Annapurna region. Your journey starts from Kathmandu from where we will drive to Dharapani on the first day of this tour. Hit the trail from Dharapani to Phu Gaon, where you will spend a day acclimatizing.
Continue to Nar village via Nar Phedi. Cross your first mountain pass, the Kang La (5240m), on Day 8. The trail then descends to Manang, a popular trekking stop for those traveling through the famous Annapurna Circuit. From there, the trail takes you up through the Thorong La Pass and down to Jomsom, via Muktinath.
Catch a flight to Pokhara from Jomsom and drive back to Kathmandu, where your trip comes to an end.
I had Mardi Himal trekking with my parter few month ago. This trek was booked from this local operator as one of my friend recommended this trek. Support from this trekking agency was great from the beginning. They provided all the necessary equipment required for this trek. The arrangement was great. Mr Sujan kept checking on us. Guide Kamal was amazing and has great sense of humour. We successfully completed this trekking. The tour operator and its team is highly recommended.

Me and my daughter traveled to Nepal and chose Mardi Himal trek.
I’m an active 60 years lady. This trek was hard sometimes but we had enough time to go slowly and enjoy the view, take photos, have tea and coffee with Mountain View. Mardi Himal trek is new but amazing.
After Mardi we did Poon Hill trek because we had time and wanted to continue the adventure. It was a great trek to see local villages, rivers, forests. We also had the best tour guide Ramesh. Thank you, my friend for being such a professional and caring tour guide.
Me along with two of my friends did the two-week Khopra ridge community trek. The was a fun guy with lot of knowledge about the mountains. He was equally helpful and very caring. We thoroughly enjoyed our trek with him and next time when we travel to Nepal, we will directly ask for him. He couldn't be better enough for us. We will be back soon! Thank you all at the company. Dhanyabad!
As a first-time trekker, the Ghorepani Poon Hill trek was an ideal choice. The route was well-balanced, offering a moderate level of difficulty without being overwhelming. The breathtaking mountain scenery, charming villages, and warm hospitality of the local people made the experience even more memorable. The services provided by the local operator were top-notch, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable journey. I highly recommend this trek to beginners and nature enthusiasts.
