The Upper Mustang Trek is one of Nepal's most distinctive trekking experiences, taking you into the former Kingdom of Lo, a high-altitude desert north of the Himalayas near the Tibet border. The region was closed to foreign visitors until 1992, helping preserve its Tibetan Buddhist culture, ancient monasteries, and medieval villages.

Most itineraries last 10–14 days, typically starting from Jomsom and passing through Kagbeni before entering the restricted Upper Mustang region.

Walk through dramatic red and ochre cliffs, deep canyons, and cave dwellings.
Explore centuries-old monasteries with Tibetan Buddhist art.
Experience the unique culture, language, and traditions of the local people.
