The word &lsquo;Mustang&rsquo; simply conjures up ideas of forsaken, remoteness, and isolation, a place lost amongst the mountains. This was an independent country until it was closely consolidated into Nepal just a few decades ago. The kingdom of Mustang lies in the rain shadow formed by the Annapurna &amp; Nilgiri Himalayas and thus gets very little rain which, fortunately, makes the area ideal for trekking even in the mid-monsoon while the other areas of Nepal remain unsuitable for trekking due to heavy monsoon rains. Trekking to the upper mustang is magnificent by any means, it&rsquo;s a sheer pleasure to walk through the majestic hill and see superb views of the barren mountains. This barren desert of Upper Mustang is so beautiful that it can put green lands in shame. The scenic landscape of this region is quite familiar to Tibetan landscapes as geographically it is a part of the Tibetan plateau. Even the culture of this place is highly influenced by the Tibetan people. Upper Mustang Trek is a thrilling experience where you can explore ancient monasteries from the 14th century, Buddhist shrines, culture that will leave an impression on your heart. You&rsquo;ll have to march through an almost tree-less barren landscape, a steep rocky trail up and downhill during Upper Mustang Trek while enjoying panoramic views of Nilgiri, Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and several other peaks.

Kathmandu Arrival:
Welcome to Kathmandu! The adventure starts as soon as you step off the plane where you’ll find a mass of taxi drivers all fighting over the right to take you to your hotel. Lucky for you, we’ll have our representative there to pick you up like a knight in shining armor. On route to the hotel, you’ll get to see the hustle and bustle of the big city along with Kathmandu’s claim to fame. The dust. But don’t worry, the dust will be worth it once you see the smiles on the locals faces as they welcome you to Nepal.

In the evening, we’ll gather any additional information we need for your permits. Then, we’ll have a briefing of your itinerary which will be followed by a pop quiz. If you pass, we’ll all go out to a nice dinner. If you fail, we’ll blame it on the jet lag and go to dinner anyway.
