The Upper Mustang overland tour is all about exploring the hidden world of the ancient Buddhist kingdom of Mustang. The region, defined as much by its 13,000-foot passes, striated rock formations, and colorful stupas as by its almost unfathomable remoteness, was, until 2011, accessible only by foot, horseback, or private aircraft but now 4WD drive also available to reach Lo Manthang.
Upper Mustang is an upper part of Mustang District of Nepal. The Upper Mustang was a restricted kingdom and demilitarized area until 1992 which makes it one of the most preserved regions in the world, with a majority of the population still speaking traditional Tibetan languages. This is a Trans-Himalayan zone where you will experience the natural beauty along with traditional Buddhist culture and heritage.

This will be private guide holidays for you with native Napali trek leader who has enough experience of this trail. Hope it will be lifetime experience trip for you.
