Highlights

Upper Mustang Trek is one of the most fascinating and hidden Buddhism kingdoms of the Mustang. Mustang was an ancient forbidden kingdom, bordered by the Tibetan Plateau and sheltered by some of the world’s tallest peaks, including tall Annapurna(8,901 m/ 26,545 ft) and Dhaulagiri(8,167 m/26,795 ft). Strict regulations for tourists here have aided in maintaining old traditions. Upper Mustang Trek was a restricted demilitarized area until 1992, which makes it one of the most preserved regions in the world due to its relative isolation from the outside world, with a majority of the population still speaking traditional Tibetan languages. The name “Mustang” is derived from the Tibetan word meaning, “Plain of Aspiration” Upper Mustang trek was only opened to foreigners in 1992 and the region is a popular area for trekking and can be visited year-round (regardless of season).
