Exploring the unique blend of Nepalese and Tibetan Buddhism and the culture, traditions, and lifestyles of the aboriginal Sherpa people are other highlights of the trek apart from the marvelous views and natural diversity.
Begin with a mountain flight to Lukla and explore Chauri kharka, Phakding, and Namche Bazaar villages. Stay for acclimatization in the historical trading hub of Namche. Pass through the towns of Dole and Machhermo before Gokyo leads you to the Gokyo Ri, the peak with extraordinary scenery. Soak up the panoramic view of mountains including Mt. Everest (8848m), Lhotse (8516m), Cho-Oyu (8201m), Makalu (8585m), Ama Dablam (6812m), Thame Peak and others. You can also see the Ngozomba Glacier, the largest glacier in the Himalayas, and the unique Gokyo village. Climb to the challenging Renjo La Pass (5345m), another viewpoint in the trail which provides yet another surreal scenery of the Himalayas to the trekkers as a reward for their strenuous trekking in the region. After exploring the area, we retrace our path, head for Thame, trek to Lukla, and fly back to Kathmandu.
On the trek, you may glimpse rare species such as musk deer, wild mountain goat, snow leopard, and hawk. Locals believe in the existence of the infamous Yeti as well. You may witness it as well; you never know!
Gokyo Renjo La Pass trekking is full of diversity; from monasteries clad with prayer flags and scribbles to the precarious suspension bridges, and from the majestic Himalayas to the cultural heritages of local inhabitants, you get to experience many things in one single trek. Experience our team's professional service, exceptional hospitality, and the warmth of the ever-smiling locals. Discover yourself in this wonder world in a hassle-free and entertaining trekking expedition in the mountains of Nepal.
Upper Mustang Trekking offers a great opportunity to get insights into Trans Himalayan region of Annapurna which is quite similar to Tibetan trans-Himalayan topography. The colorful rock formations with numerous cave dwellings high up the cliffs, impressive chortens and ancient monasteries reflect the culture and traditions of Buddhism. Along with topographical similarities, the local people still follow the centuries old life style and traditions. You get an amazing feeling of isolation while trekking around the deserted lands which also enchants and inspires visitors to this region.
Major attraction and actually an opportunity during our Upper Mustang trek is the walled city of Lo-Manthang palaces. Upper Mustang is known as forbidden kingdom and still sees very few tourists each year. Trek along the land of canyons of the Kali Gandaki River, across the rugged land where people have saved their centuries old culture in Buddhist chortens, small stupas, atop hills, on pathways leading into villages and even inside caves. Tibetan Buddhism and the myths are intertwined threads that are in turn woven into the landscape.
Finally as you reach Lo Manthang, we will also arrange your meeting to King of Mustang, Jigme Parbal Bista in the walled capital Lo Manthang. Yes, Nepal is republic but Mustang even today has a king! The Mustangi locals have their own head of the tribe whom they respect, he is known as Mustangi King. Visit the three red-walled monasteries at the heart of the town; watch the astonishing way of life and family life around the nomadic villages.
The best time to trek around Upper Mustang Trek is from the month of March to November. This trek can be joined even during the monsoon season as Upper Mustang lies in rain-shadow area and receives negligible amount of rainfall. So, except in winter due to extreme cold, this trek to the hidden kingdom is recommended during anytime of the year.
Please refer to the itinerary for day-by-day activities.
