“

The Upper Mustang trek was a truly wonderful journey, especially in combination with the Tiji Festival. The mix of hiking, jeep transfers, and overnight stays in tents made it feel like a genuine expedition. The support from the entire staff was outstanding. Our tents were set up for us each day and taken down again as soon as our group departed for the next stage of the trek. Every morning, we were welcomed with a cup of warm water or tea, and upon arriving at camp each afternoon, we were provided with a bowl of hot washing water, a much-appreciated comfort after a long day on the trail. Upper Mustang is an extremely dusty region, and you certainly notice that during the trek. Fortunately, we were able to avoid most of the roads by taking hiking trails, and many of the trekking days were demanding and sometimes strenuous. Daily altitude changes were significant, often climbing from around 3,000-3,200 metres to over 4,000 metres, then descending again before making another ascent the following day. This made the trek a rewarding challenge every day. Despite the physical demands, our entire group enjoyed every moment of the experience. I would like to thank all the staff and guides once again for their excellent support, professionalism, and outstanding service throughout the trip.

Mustang Trek Review Our Mustang journey was an extraordinary experience from start to finish - one defined not only by the landscape, but by the people, the culture, and the challenge of the trek itself. The Leader and the Team We were fortunate to travel with a truly outstanding team which was capably led by a wonderful team leader. They were consistently supportive, attentive, and incredibly hardworking, creating an atmosphere of encouragement from day one. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their quiet professionalism played a huge role in making the experience both enjoyable and safe. A highlight was the bowl of warm water every morning and night - so appreciated. Food The food was a pleasant and often surprising highlight. Each meal offered plenty of variety, and there was always an abundance - no one was ever left hungry. Whether it was traditional dishes or familiar comfort options, everything was well prepared. A particularly memorable touch was the black tea, which became a daily ritual and the perfect way to start mornings on the trail. Scenery Mustang's landscape is both brutal and beautiful in equal measure. Stark, wind-swept terrain and dramatic hills gave way to moments of striking natural beauty. The rawness of the environment is confronting, but it is exactly this contrast that makes it so unforgettable. The Trekking Experience The trek itself was expertly led by a highly reputable and responsible team leader, clearly well respected within the local community. His leadership inspired confidence throughout the journey, ensuring not only our safety but also a deeper appreciation of the region and its culture. Physically, the walk was demanding. At times it was technically challenging, requiring focus and care underfoot. More often, it was personally testing - long, tough climbs followed by even more punishing descents. Yet it was precisely these challenges that made the experience so rewarding. The trek is not to be taken lightly. It is at the top end of a challenging walk. Tiji Festival A true highlight was witnessing the Tiji Festival - a remarkable three-day cultural event. The colour, ceremony, and energy of the festival provided a rare and authentic glimpse into local traditions, adding a powerful cultural dimension to the trek. Summary Overall, the Mustang trek was exceptionally well organised and ably led. Supported by a fantastic team, enriched by unique cultural experiences, and set against a landscape that is as demanding as it is beautiful, it is a journey that will stay with us for a lifetime.
