Upper Mustang Trek

On the very first day of your trek you will be picked up at the airport by our representative and will be assisted to the hotel where you will be given the brief explanation of your trek and stay overnight.

This is the second day on which we will drive you to Pokhara which is 200 km away from Kathmandu. It takes about 6 hours to get to Pokhara and at the end of the day stay overnight in the hotel in Pokhara.

Today, we will fly from Pokhara to Jomsom which takes approximately 25 minutes and then trek to Kagbeni.From Jomsom we have to walk through the bank of Kaligandaki river and at arrive at Kagbeni after 3 hours of walking. We stay a night there.

Kagbeni is a small village from where the trail goes along the east bank of the Kaligandaki that climbs over numerous ridges as it heads north and reaches Tangbe Village. Beyond Tangbe we reach Chhusang Village and cross the river there. The trail continues passing Kalingandaki River and ancient caves and finally reach at Chele. We stay a night there.

The way is uphill from here and continues through steep, tree-less, water-less terrain, along the side of a spectacular steep canyon to a pass and cairn of rock at 3540m. This is followed by a long, gradual descent to some Chortens on a ridge before descending further on a pleasant trail to Samar. The Annapurna, still dominated by Nilgiri, is visible far to the south. Climb above Samar to a ridge, and then descend into a large gorge and to another valley field. The route climbs over yet another pass, follows a ridge and then descends to Shyangmochen. From there gently climb to a pass at 3770m and descend to Geling.

Geling is a small beautiful village from where the trail climbs gently up to the interesting pass on Nyila and descends below blue, gray and red cliffs across the valley to a steel bridge across the Tangmar Chu River. We then climb past what is perhaps the longest and most spectacular stretch of Mani walls in Nepal. Climb over another pass at 3600m then make a long gentle descent to Charang where we spend a night.

Today the way is not difficult and the way descends crosses the Charang-Chu, and climbs steeply via a rocky trail to the small hill of Lomanthang from where you can see the view of the walled city of Lomanthang. After a short descent cross a stream before climbing up to the plateau of LoManthang.

There are four major attractions, and several other places to visit here. The tall Champa Lakhang “good house”, the red Thugchen Gompa, Chyodi Gompa and the entrance hall are the main attractions of this town. Another attraction is the four-story building of the King’s Palace as well as the surrounding panoramic views of the Himalayas. Beside Lo Manthang there are two other interesting Valleys worth visiting: the western Tingkhar, the site of the King’s summer Palace, Kimling and Phuwa as well as the Gompa of Nangyals “The Monastery of Victory”, which is the newest and most active Gompa in Lo. The eastern valley contains Chosar, the site of a high school, Garphu and Nyaphu Gompa. This is the main trading route to Lhasa.

After having spent 2 nights at Lomanthang, we will return back to Ghami through the same way with the beautiful scenery of green hilly region along with Lomanthang and Charang village and finally arrive at Ghami where we spend a night.

From Ghami we will return back to Samar via the outward route.

Samar is a small nice Tibetan village from where we trek back to Kagbeni.

Kagbeni is the main entrance of Upper Mustang and from here we return back to Jomsom through Kaligandaki River via the same way.

Jomsom is the final place of our trek. From here we fly back to Pokhara with the magnificent views of Mt. Dhaulagiri, Tukuche peak and Annapurna range which takes about 25 minutes.
