About Upper Mustang Trekking

Overview

Mustang can be termed “Fertile Plain” literally; the former kingdom of Lo and now it is a part of Nepal, bordering the Tibetan plateau which was opened for the tourist in March 1992. Upper mustang is a barren valley with Trans Himalaya. Mustang was once an important route for crossing the Himalaya between Tibet and Nepal, and many of the old salt caravans passed through Mustang.

This is an area where we will trek to, discovering the wonders of the architecture, language, their interesting culture, and traditions which are almost purely Tibetan.

Trekking in the Mustang region is a unique experience that takes you to an arid region beyond the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri. The route entails traveling across the desert-like landscape, barren ridges, deep canyons, eroded cliffs and moraine valleys. Trekking in Mustang is truly one of the most rewarding experiences in Nepal. So, through this trek, you will have a close-up view of the primitive society that has remained unaffected by modernization for centuries.

UPPER MUSTANG TREKKING IN NEPAL

We planned a long trek through the Annapurna region, connecting the Manaslu Trek with the Annapurna Trek and leading into Upper Mustang. So we had a clear plan in mind but needed a guide for our adventure. Arriving in Nepal by plane, we were directly catched up at the airport. We got help to get a SIM card and a taxi to the hotel. The freelancer arranging the taxi ride offered us to bring us to the trekking agency. Quite sceptical we agreed.
At the agency, Puru discussed our whole trekking trip with us. He gave some valuable advice on the route and offered us a fair price for the whole trip, including the guide, all meals and accommodation, as well as all transportation. After over thinking at the hotel, we agreed to the offer. The day befor the trek we met our guide Suman at the office.

During our whole 28 day trip we were in perfect hands throughout. Whether on the trek, at guest houses or on the journey, our guide, Suman, did an amazing job. He never failed to do his job and provided useful information about the Nepali culture, the mountains and much more. But most importantly Suman was not only a superb guide, but also a good friend during the whole time we spent together.

Overall we are super happy with our trip and our world class guide Suman. We would definitely go on another trekking adventure with him anytime. It is save to say that we can highly recommend Himalaya Hub Adventure and our guide Suman!

Thank you very much for the five star service!
