About Mustang District and Trekking
Kagbeni, situated at an altitude of 2,804 meters, serves as the gateway to Upper Mustang, a region known as the "Forbidden Kingdom" where the local population still adheres to their traditional monarchy. The trek through Lower Mustang, including areas like Jomsom and Muktinath, offers a unique blend of culture, history, and stunning landscapes. Jomsom, located at 2,700 meters, features an airport with domestic flights connecting it to Pokhara, making it a convenient starting point for this remarkable trek.
For this 17-day journey, we ensure comfort by providing round-trip domestic flights between Kathmandu and Pokhara, as well as between Pokhara and Jomsom. This means our Mustang trek package includes four domestic flights, allowing for an easy and hassle-free travel experience.
Special Permits for Mustang Trekking
Since the Mustang region is a restricted trekking area, a special trek permit is required. The cost is $500 USD per person for a 10-day permit, and a minimum of two trekkers is needed to obtain it. This fee is included in our trek package. If youre traveling solo and wish to join a group to acquire the permit, we can assist you. Please note that the $500 permit does not cover entrance fees to the various ancient monasteries you may visit during your trek.
Lodge Facilities During the Trek
We provide comfortable lodges with attached bathrooms and hot showers in Jomsom and Kagbeni. However, during the 10-day trek through Kagbeni to Lo-Manthang, attached bathroom facilities are not available, but we ensure hot showers every 2-3 days for your comfort.
Itinerary Overview
The Mustang trek offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore the hidden Tibetan culture, ancient Buddhist monasteries, and remarkable geographical landscapes. Our journey begins with an 18-minute scenic flight from Pokhara to Jomsom, followed by a trek to Kagbeni and Chusang, which are now connected by road, but we choose to walk to fully enjoy the stunning surroundings.
As we continue, we’ll visit the historical Ranchung Cave and trek to Dhakmar, home to Ghar Gompa, an important Nyingmapa sect monastery. Our main destination, Lo-Manthang, is a vibrant cultural hub where the local king resides, and each year, the Tiji Festival celebrates the regions rich heritage.
Mr. Pasang Sherpa, the owner of NETTA, has designed a thoughtful itinerary based on his personal trekking experiences in Mustang. The trek includes beautiful natural trails, especially in areas not yet reached by roads, ensuring an authentic experience.
In Lo-Manthang, you will have the chance to explore ancient monasteries and hike to Chosar Valley to see the Jhong Cave. After your exploration, the return journey will either involve trekking or an optional drive back to Bhena via Charang, Ghami, Geling, and Syangmochen, where roads are established.
Weather Considerations
Summer flights from Jomsom to Pokhara can occasionally be delayed due to weather. To mitigate this risk, weve built in a reserved day in case of flight delays, allowing us to customize the itinerary without missing key sites.
Best Time for Trekking
The Upper Mustang trek is highly recommended from March to December. The best months are March to June in spring and September to November in autumn. Due to its rain shadow climate, trekking is also feasible during the monsoon months of July and August.
