15 Days Upper Mustang Trek Itinerary and Best Price For 2023
The 15 Days Upper Mustang Trek is all about exploring the hidden kingdom of Lo Manthang through the rugged trails on the desert-like atmosphere. Having been protected from tourism for so long, the Upper Mustang is one of the remote areas where you can go and see the Tibetan culture at its finest. The long, rich, and ancient Tibetan culture history makes trekking to Upper Mustang a different Himalayan experience. You not only get to see the mountains, monasteries, gompas, caves, and wall paintings but also get to be there with the local people during their festival celebration. It is a great way of getting to know the cultures of other people whom you have been following for a long time. Far away from the city life lies a region with wilderness that is sure to make you go crazy over its natural beauty and remoteness.
