Upper Mustang Trek

Upper Mustang trekking is a unique privilege. Here, you’ll learn about the way of life of real mountain dwellers who, for many years, had little contact with the rest of Nepal and were able to preserve their rich cultural heritage. Given that Upper Mustang is geographically a part of the Tibetan plateau, trekking there is similar in many ways to trekking in Tibet. Within the borders of Nepal, the Mustang district was a separate kingdom until 1950. The king family of Mustang, still resides in and around the city known as Lo Manthang.
It takes 14 days to complete this moderately difficult trek. Maximum altitude is 3,730 meters, and daily walking is 6 -7 hours on average. This is one of the best peace trekking routes in Nepal because most of the ascent is gradual and most nights are spent at low to medium altitudes. The trip is also worth for planning medium altitude soft first time trekking and hiking experience in the Himalaya attempting to do a family vacation or a trip with friends. It is vital that participants with pre-existing medical problems or conditions make these known to Sherpa Brothers Trek at the time of booking
