Upper Mustang Trek is an adventurous journey that takes you to the hidden kingdom of Mustang, a remote region in the northern part of Nepal. This trek takes you through a rugged terrain that is surrounded by majestic Himalayan peaks, barren landscapes, ancient villages, and unique Tibetan culture.
The Upper Mustang region was once an important trade route between Nepal and Tibet. The area was closed to foreigners until 1992, which has helped to preserve its unique culture and traditions. The trek to Upper Mustang is a chance to explore this fascinating region and experience its rich history and traditions.
The trek usually starts from Jomsom, a popular town in the Annapurna region, and takes around 12-15 days to complete. The trek follows the Kali Gandaki River and passes through the arid landscapes of the Mustang region. The trail takes you through traditional Mustangi villages like Kagbeni, Chele, Tsarang, Lo Manthang, and more.
One of the highlights of the trek is the ancient walled city of Lo Manthang, which was once the capital of the Mustang Kingdom. The city is surrounded by high walls and has a unique architectural style that reflects the Tibetan culture. There are several monasteries, chortens, and other religious sites in the city that are worth exploring.
The Upper Mustang Trek is a moderate to difficult trek and requires a good level of fitness. The trek involves several steep ascents and descents, and the altitude can be challenging as well. The highest point on the trek is the Lo La Pass (3,950m), which offers stunning views of the Himalayan peaks.
Accommodation during the trek is in basic teahouses, and the food is simple but delicious. The local cuisine includes Tibetan dishes like thukpa (noodle soup), momos (dumplings), and tsampa (roasted barley flour). It's also important to carry enough water and water purification tablets as water sources along the trek are limited.
Overall, the Upper Mustang Trek is a unique and unforgettable experience that takes you to a remote region of Nepal that is rich in culture and history. The trek is ideal for those who are looking for a challenging adventure and a chance to explore the hidden treasures of Nepal.
