The Upper Mustang Trek is a popular and challenging trek in Nepal that takes you to the remote region of Mustang, which is also known as the Forbidden Kingdom. The region was closed to foreigners until 1992 and has retained much of its traditional Tibetan culture and way of life.
The trek begins in the city of Pokhara and takes you through the Kali Gandaki valley, past ancient monasteries, caves, and spectacular rock formations. As you ascend higher into the mountains, you will be rewarded with stunning views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges. One of the highlights of the trek is reaching the walled city of Lo Manthang, the capital of the former Mustang Kingdom. The city is home to the historic King Palace, several monasteries, and traditional Mustangi architecture.
The Upper Mustang Trek is considered a moderate to difficult trek and requires a good level of fitness and acclimatization. The Upper Mustang Trek is a unique and unforgettable experience that offers a rare glimpse into the remote and ancient culture of Mustang.
