Upper Mustang is an arid river valley that runs north-south off the upper corner of the Annapurna circuit. This takes you on an extraordinary journey of the ancient Buddhist Kingdom of Mustang called Lo Manthang. Officially, this is Nepal’s restricted region. Once forbidden and isolated from the rest of the world for many decades, this region is able to evolve within its own unique culture and traditions which is similar to Tibet. Mostly famous for the dry-desert kind of landscape, the geographical beauty of Upper Mustang will impress you as if you are in the Martian landscape.

One can plan 10-21 days-long itineraries for this trip based on own convenience.
