- Accommodation: Tea house
The trek starts from Kagbeni, a village that has been around for ages and is considered the entrance to Upper Mustang. As you walk away from Kali Gandaki River, the path eventually leads you into a restricted area where you can notice the landscape getting drier and rougher. At first, the path goes along the river and you come across areas with barren hills, eroded cliffs as well as some cave shelters that are hollowed out in the rock faces. Strong afternoon winds are a common feature along this stretch which is the addition to the raw Himalaya desert vibe. After several crossovers of streams and narrow valleys, the path ascends on a gentle slope till the village of Chele, which is famous for its picturesque whitewashed houses and the peaceful atmosphere that is being encircled by the rugged landscape.
Day 5

- Altitude: 3,930 m
- Trek Duration: 5-6 hours
- Trek Distance: 11.5 km
- Meal: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
- Accommodation: Tea house
Going by Chele to Syangboche is filled with ups and downs, actually quite the opposite of flat or gently sloping paths. For a greater part of the day we follow the path that zigzags and descends rapidly between some surprisingly narrow gorges and sun-exposed ridges. Along the way you must realize that the moment you are at the summit of those passes, the view of the Himalayas like Tilicho, Nilgiri, and Damodar can be absolutely breathtaking. Talking of steep rock face cliffs with little shelter from the sun, we see one of the faces quite literally covered in ancient rock carving caves which, judging from the style and technique used, date back to prehistoric times. Instead of plunging straight down the valley, the path makes a wide point of turning and climbing up again to Syangboche where you will find a little village on a windy plateau with enormous spectacular views typical of Upper Mustang all around.
Day 6
Trek from Syangboche to Ghami
- Altitude: 3,520 m
- Trek Duration: 5-6 hours
- Trek Distance: 9.3 km

You will thusly hike over hills and up and down ridges and along open valleys offering uninterrupted views of browning hills and the white tops of the mountains way in the distance. Guest houses and stupa will be there to witness your passing and to remind you of Tibet’s culture which undoubtedly strongly influences the lifestyle of the local people. Ghami holds the title of the largest village in Upper Mustang and apparently its main attraction is the rlong manis (mani walls) which is said to be the longest one in Nepal. The difference in environment can be clearly seen at the edge of the village where agriculture is practiced amidst the vast desert surroundings.

The scenery becomes wider and more open as the trail approaches Charang, a significant settlement in Upper Mustang. Charang is home to an impressive monastery and a traditional fortress, reflecting the village’s historical importance.

The trail slowly climbs over grasslands and passes, giving you uninterrupted vistas of the rolling hills and faraway mountains. When you finally get to Lo-Manthang, the legendary white walls of the city can be seen, stark against the lifeless land. Once inside, the narrow streets, majestic palaces, and old monasteries shelter a one-of-a-kind Tibetan culture that has hardly changed for centuries.

The people of Lo-manthang are very much Tibetan and they enjoyed with a practical cultural economy.

After several hours of walking through untouched terrain, the trail descends toward the village of Yara, known for its traditional houses and proximity to ancient caves carved high into the cliffs.

- Trek Duration: 7-8 hours
- Trek Distance: 16 km

The view is amazing and keeps changing as you walk through red and brown cliffs that have been formed by wind and erosion. After passing some summits, the path goes down into Tangge, a lovely village which is surrounded by fields and stone houses. Tangge is so far from the noise and influence of the modern world that it still shows the traditional way of life in Mustang.

Chusang is situated where several valleys meet, and it is famous for its massive red rock cliffs and cave homes. After such a tiring day you will be happy to find lodging in this charming place.

The highest point of the Upper Mustang Trek is around 3,900 meters (approximately 12,900 feet), depending on the route taken. Proper acclimatization and a gradual ascent help minimize the risk of altitude-related issues.

Basic electricity, often solar-powered, is available in most villages for lighting and charging devices, sometimes at an additional cost. Hot showers may be available in some lodges but are not guaranteed every night due to limited water and energy resources.

Trekking in Upper Mustang is the opposite of all other Nepal destinations and it is evident in every feature of the landscape. There are also the bare landscapes, secret caves, and local villages, all helped this trip to give the impression of a return to the past. Nepal Royal Tourism did an amazing job giving us unparalleled service throughout the whole time of our 16-day trek. Pace was good for all the group members and guide was informative.

Incredible Cultural Trekking Adventure
Without a doubt, Nepal Royal Tourism was the best choice for doing Upper Mustang Trek with a small group of friends. The combination of spectacular Himalayan views, fascinating Tibetan culture, and deserted villages created the perfect backdrop for a simple and memorable journey. The ancient walled city of Lo Manthang was worth the hike. Our guide was very knowledgeable on local customs and Buddhism and that contributed a lot to the whole trip. The company was very organized, efficient, and supportive. They are definitely worth booking with if you want to Upper Mustang operator.

Journey Into the Hidden Kingdom
The 16 Days Upper Mustang Trek with Nepal Royal Tourism was definitely one of my best trekking experiences ever. The Upper Mustang scenery is almost like a fairy tale with ancient monasteries, red cliffs, and the traditional Tibetan culture which is still free of modern influences. Our guide was a very professional, friendly and knowledgeable person in the historical and cultural aspects of the region. Each tea house was well kept and the whole program from Kathmandu to Lo Manthang was well run and ordered. If you want a household name for an authentic Upper Mustang trekking company in Nepal, then Nepal Royal Tourism is the one.
