Mustang Region

Mustang Region trek is the a rare opportunity to explore one of Nepal’s most culturally rich and geographically striking areas. It lies in northern Nepal, often referred to as the “Last Forbidden Kingdom,”.

Upper Mustang and Lower Mustang are the two different parts of Mustang. Upper Mustang is known for its remote, culturally preserved villages, and the walled city of Lo Manthang. Next is Lower Mustang, which is more accessible and home to spiritual sites like Muktinath Temple and the Kali Gandaki Gorge.

Upper Mustang is the crown jewel of the region which also offer a once-in-a-lifetime journey into a lost world. This remote area centers Lo Manthang, the walled capital of the former Mustang Kingdom, and requires a special permit to enter. Here, you’ll visit ancient monasteries, chortens, sky caves carved into cliffs. The dramatic scenery features eroded cliffs, deep gorges, and colorful rock formations shaped by centuries of wind and water erosion.

Lower Mustang is more accessible than Upper Mustang region as you can reach there by road. The region is home to the sacred Muktinath Temple, an important pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists. Lower Mustang also offers views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges while following the Kali Gandaki Gorge, one of the world’s deepest. It is dotted with apple orchards, Thakali villages, monasteries, and fortress ruins, providing a rewarding mix of nature and culture in a more comfortable setting. Adventure Master Trek offers you the popular and most selling Upper Mustang package that takes you deep into this culturally rich and geographically striking region.

Our Upper Mustang itinerary also includes the visits to Lo Manthang, centuries-old monasteries, ancient cave dwellings, and Tibetan-influenced villages, providing a rare glimpse into a lifestyle untouched by time.
