Upper Mustang trekking is a 17-days trekking package created by Himalayan Social Journey in the northern central part of Nepal. Mustang is the ancient Himalayan Kingdom at the top of the Kali Gandaki River. The district is part of Dhaulagiri zone, therefore, the majestic view of Dhaulagiri which is the eighth highest mountain in the world and Annapurna range is visible. Mustang consist of two distinct regions; upper mustang in the southern part and lower mustang in the northern part. The Lower Mustang trek is easy compared to Upper Mustang trek and can be finished within a short amount of time. You can also opt for trekking both region at once. Trekking in the both region at once can be quite long and challenging too.
The place is stunningly beautiful with a picturesque landscape and interesting culture. The culture of the place is similar to Tibetan culture. Also by those who have travelled the places has considered the place one of the interesting and picturesque places in Nepal. The area was isolated and restricted for tourism until 1992. Trekking in Mustang is quite a lengthy process for any foreigner wishing to travel in this region. They require a special type of permit to trek in Mustang and should be accompanied by a guide. The place is an extremely popular destination in Nepal because of its pure culture and natural beauty.
Once you land at Kathmandu Airport (TIA), you will be led to your hotel orientation program at 5:00 pm and at evening, welcome dinner.

Pokhara can be reached by two options: private jeep or by bus. The costs are very comparable anyway. So, whether or not you want to visit the countries depends on your decision. If yes, the best option is the private jeep. You will fly to Pokhara otherwise.
Kathmandu is approximately 200 km from Pokhara and is approximately 7–8 hours from the hotel. Traffic jams often delay the planned arrival time. The experiences are nevertheless valuable. .

The path to Ghyakar takes us from Chele towards the Dajori La pass (3.735 meters) with views of Nilgiris and Tilicho 's magnificent peaks. A humble village of Samar with a monastery in Nepalese style can be found down the pass. The route goes across the Samakyung Khola and Ihuwa Khola canyon to the dirt road to syangmochen. The view from Dhaulagiri is outstanding.

We'll go over the farms and the meadows from Gheling. The views are rising significantly as you move forward. Shortly before we get to the Nyi La Pass, a smiley face is drawn on a rock. Perhaps the smile tried to convince the walkers that in the next few days something spectacular is expected. When we reach Ghami, we'll meet some of the amazing mani walls and the Upper Mustang chortens.
The trail climbs up to the Choya La Pass through a long manic wall in Ghami and then descends to the Tsarang, dotted randomly with numerous Chortens. It's worth visiting the Tsarang monastery.

Lo Manthang is an exceptional town separated by its 8.5 m high wall from the rest of the world. There are mysterious caves and palaces within this city centuries which appear at a glance inexplorable. But a few people have been exploring these ancient territories. The typical Tibetan-style Buddhist monasteries tell us that Lo Mantang 's history is somewhat tied to Tibet.
Throughout the day, we will visit the Namgyal Monastery with pictures of Buddha and his disciples in its interior. Later, we go to Thingkar, a palace used by lo Manthang Royalties in the summer of 1953.

It's a very long day, with frequent ascents and descents. There are several points behind the Chogo La, with views of the left valley. But you'll be in the new world after that. The trail continues down the Chogo La to Ghar Gompa, which is one of the best gompas in the entire area of Mustang. Now you'll climb up to Mui La, where the dry mustang is best viewed. The path goes down abruptly into a beautiful Drakmar village. .

We follow the other course towards the temple of Muktinat, the Hindus sacred temple, rather than on the same road as Kagbeni. This temple is complex and it is necessary for the pilgrimage through many small shrines to finally see Lord Vishnu's man-like golden statue in the main temple. Pay heed to areas where non-Hindus are forbidden. There are also 108 carved taps in which all the sins of life are to be washed away. This temple is popular in Nepal both artistically and religiously.
