Trip Overview

Start your trip to the last forbidden kingdom of Nepal untouched by 21st-century modernization. Centuries-old rituals and cultural practices make the area an important place for a cultural excursion. Upper Mustang Trekking is also termed as the journey beyond mountains. 

THE ATTRACTION POINT OF UPPER MUSTANG TREK

Info Trekking Nepal has knitted the best itinerary to explore the walled city of Lo-Manthang and to walk through the world’s deepest gorge the Kaligandaki gorge. The trip will not only confine trekkers to socio-cultural attractions rather it renders prototypical Himalayan traditions so close to Tibetan culture. If your trekking holiday falls within the Tiji Festival then it would be even more blissful. The festival is considered the biggest celebration in the area.

The place which is dry and barren due to very less rainfall is exotic in its peculiarity. The Himalayan desert landscape is also the home of mysterious caves on hills. It is believed that people used to spend the night in these caves to get rid of invasive forces. The trip starts from Pokhara with a flight to Jomsom which is the windiest town in Nepal. The trail follows the Kaligandaki River and crosses the deepest gorge of Kaligandaki before reaching the capital city of Upper Mustang i.e. Lomanthang (a city surrounded by walls). Upper Mustang Trekking can be compared to a spiritual and natural jewel. Chortens, Gompas and Monastery present on the trail make this place equally spiritual and serene. 

The scenery of Mustang is beguiled and picturesque like a beautiful portrait having walls of mountains and barren hills. Mysterious caves and unique cremation rituals of the Upper Mustang could be added attractions for outsiders to understand. Visit monasteries and get blessings too. Trekking destination placed under a restricted zone requires a special permit. Info Trekking Nepal would prepare all necessary documents for your hassle-free trek in Upper Mustang.

The Upper Mustang Trek is my second trek with Info Nepal Trekking. The walk through one of Nepal's eight wonders was amazing. Once more, I traveled with Kubindra and his group. Because of our previous trek together, I have a strong relationship with them.

They are incredibly helpful and dependable travel agents who handle every single aspect, from safety and security to emergency needs. Working with Kubindra is one of the most appealing things because of his personality. He is composed, never freaks out, and deals with uncertainty in a very orderly and careful manner.

Furthermore, he takes his entire duties very seriously. He comes highly recommended to anyone who is unsure about finding a respectable travel agency, and I would definitely go back with him again.

Trekking for an extraordinarily low cost with a business that respects the ethics of its guides and places a higher priority on the safety and security of its customers. It was a delight to correspond with Kubindra and his staff because they always gave us immediate answers.

Kubindra responded with the utmost professionalism to every concern our group brought to them, including missed start dates and helicopter evacuations for altitude illness.

From the beginning to the end, his capable and friendly team took care of us, and our guide was a pleasure to spend time with. Keep up the fantastic work, everyone! I won't think twice about recommending Info Trekking Nepal to anyone.

At the age of 60, my wife and I intended to take another upper Mustang expedition. One of my nieces, who travels and has gone on two treks with them, suggested The Info Trekking Nepal.

After hearing about his interactions with them, we were at a loss for someone else to mention. Our guide, Kubindra, the owner, and all of them were wonderfully attentive and helpful.

The farewell dinner, airport transfer, and all other aspects of the trip exceeded our expectations at every turn. Every day, Kubindra and his team worked very hard to make sure our needs were met.

As a result, Kubindra runs his company with a genuine desire to please his clients. We might be happy that we came across them rather than have to navigate through the website looking for a reputable company.

My party and I successfully finished the upper Mustang trip with Info Trekking Nepal, which was excellent! The managing director of Info Trekking Nepal is really helpful and motivating when it comes to planning our journey and setting up our route.

We felt really safe and secure thanks to our knowledgeable guides and porters, who also took care of everything so we didn't have to worry about a thing.

They were always professional but also had fun. I couldn't have asked for a better trip, and I wouldn't think twice about going back to them. I give them a 10/10 recommendation.

My Upper Mustang trek in Nepal was expertly organized by Kubindra and the Info Trekking Nepal team. Kubindra always responded promptly, and it was indeed a pleasure to work with him. He had everything already organized for me when I got to Kathmandu.

I was really impressed with Info Trekking Nepal's guide and porters. They took care of everything, including picking me up at the airport, transporting me to the hotel, and picking me up again from the hotel to the airport. 

Besides, Kubindra expertly led the trek and showed constant concern for our health and welfare. The entire team was also incredibly amiable and enjoyable to be around. I can very strongly recommend Info Trekking Nepal for any treks in Nepal.
