The Upper Mustang Overland Tour, organized by Nepal Kailash Trekking, takes you into the former isolated Himalayan Kingdom of Mustang, characterized by dramatic arid landscapes, picturesque valleys, and green meadows. Often likened to a journey through Tibet, this jeep tour is the ultimate choice for travelers seeking a deep cultural experience of Tibetan Buddhism without undertaking long, strenuous treks.
The region is steeped in history, ancient traditions, and unique geography:
Typically offered as an 8-day round trip from Pokhara, Nepal Kailash Trekking can fully customize the itinerary to match your preferences. Because Upper Mustang is a restricted area, a special permit is required (specifically USD 500 per person for the first 10 days), along with ACAP and TIMS permits. While lodge accommodations are available in Lo Manthang, booking in advance during peak trekking seasons is highly recommended.
