Upper Mustang Trek Culinary N Wellness Adventure 18 days
- Family friendly
- Eco Responsible
The Upper Mustang area is also known as the Last Forbidden Kingdom. Mustang lies in the trans-Himalayan region North of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. It’s an arid, desert-like environment with colorful rock formations.
Your adventure begins with a flight into Jomsom, which lies in the Kali Gandaki valley - the most in-depth ravine in the world. North of Kagbeni is considered the “restricted” Upper Mustang region where Tibetan influence is prevalent. The landscape is dotted with ancient villages with monasteries that are several centuries old.
Trekkers were only allowed to enter this region in 1992, and still, only about 700 trekkers are visiting Mustang a year.
Our trekking is a wellness activity as it involves detoxing through perspiration, calming the mind, and eating healthy.
Our trekking chefs use superfood as ingredients to give our trekkers much-needed nourishment after a rigorous day of hiking. Our meals help to strengthen the immune system.
