The Upper Mustang Trek package is an 18-day holiday trip that is all about exploring hidden civilizations in the Upper Mustang Region of Nepal. With this trek package, you walk to some of the fascinating places like Lo Manthang, the ancient kingdom of the Mustang district, which is rich in ancient history and mountain civilization.
Likewise, a trip to the area is an excellent way to learn about the ancient Buddhist kingdom that resembles Tibet. Besides, magnificent mountain views, ancient caves, beautiful monasteries, the Amchi Museum, colorful walls, and Prayer flags are some of the other attractions of the Upper Mustang hike.
The Upper Mustang itinerary starts from Kathmandu after you arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport. However, the trekking days will only start from Jomsom. With Heaven Himalaya, the maximum elevation you reach on the trek is Nyi La Pass after Ghaymi, which is at 4010 m (13,156 ft).
Although the height you trek to is above 3500 m, the Upper Mustang Trek is a moderate-level trek and doesn’t incorporate any difficulties. So, it is also a suitable option for beginner trekkers planning to hike in the high Himalayas.
