Summary

The Upper Mustang trek brings you into the hidden world of the old Buddhist kingdom of Mustang, also called Lo. Lo used to be part of the Tibetan empire and is therefore closely tied to Tibet in culture, language and geography. Upper Mustang was opened to the foreigners only about 15 years ago and even today, it’s a highly restricted place. We need a special permit to travel beyond Kagbeni and to be accompanied by the licensed guide. Upper Mustang, being in the Himalayan rain shadow, is one of the regions in Nepal suitable for trekking even during monsoon season. Winter is not recommended for the visit due to harsh weather.
