Upper Mustang Trek
Explore Old Buddhist Kingdom of Lo Mangthang
Being a land of mystery, Nepal is filled with diversity and three major geographical points. The Upper Mustang Trek lets you encounter it all from plains, hills, and Himalayas! Himalayan culture, vast valleys, wild rivers, and Himalayan views, this trek takes you on an adventure beyond your dreams. They are known as the Upper Mustang region of Nepal and one of the most beautiful places in Nepal.
Trekking in the Upper Mustang region lets you encounter various types of wildlife and traditional culture. On the way to the highest point of the Upper Mustang Trek is Drakmar. Along with the stone-walled village of Lo-Mangthang, where a day of exploration will take place at 8,700 meters above sea level. The village here consists of cliffs and ravines.
Now all ruins, it is worth it to have some exploration in these ancient living places of the people that used to live and thrive here. Even the famous international channel National Geographic has made a documentary about the Upper Mustang and its attractions. This trek also offers fantastic snowcapped Himalayan views only accessible from the Mustang region.
The journey through Mustang starts with a drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara, a magical lakeside city. A scenic flight to Jomsom will take place, also with views of the Nilgiri that are just unique from the airplane. Jomsom is where we start trekking to Kagbeni, following the Kali Gandaki River. The trail is mainly along the road until reaching Kagbeni village. We go on more secluded trails towards Syanbochen and ultimately to Lo-Mangthang.
Along with scenery that reflects an American Western movie and it’s common to see horse riders in this area. Peregrine Treks & Expedition has concluded more than hundreds of expeditions in the Mustang region; we will provide better service to the trekkers to explore the magical area.
During the Upper Mustang Trek, the Kali Gandaki River is our main follow point. Furthermore, we notice many thriving villages situated near this life-giving river. Along with crossing suspension bridges over deep gorges and rivers, crossing jungles and rocky trails make this trek more adventurous. The Peregrine Treks & Expedition team will be there every step of the way to let you enjoy the beauty of the Upper Mustang Trek.
