Upper Mustang Trekking
The Upper Mustang drive/ride/ trekking unveils the hidden world of Mustang – the legendry Buddhist Kingdom. This is an exotic venture to unspoiled Tibetan Villages on the other side of the Nepalese Himalaya bordering Tibet.
Trekking in Nar and Phu village
The Nar Phu regions has recently been opened for Trekking. This is a trek that combines high peaks and passes, glaciers, remote villages, narrow canyons, lovely forests, amazing rock formations, yaks, gompas and unique Himalayan cultures. Trekking to the standard Annapurna circuit, the bridge leading over the Maryland River to the steep portals of the Nar/Phu valley system is easily missed, but although the entrances is narrow and forested, the valley system above opens up to a huge expanse of high snow-peaks, ancient villages and high altitude grazing settlements.
Venture into this remote region of Upper Manang, camping along the way at the winter settlement of Nar and Phu, and visit some of the most unvisited and interesting villages in the Tibetan Buddhist world.
Often the Buddhist pilgrims accompany us up to Phu to visit the renowned Tashi Lha Khang monastery and receive a blessing from Lama Karma Sonam Rinpochhe. Along with spending plenty of time at these colorful and timeless villages, we explore the high alpine valleys above Phu (including Himlung base camp for those who want to), and crossing Kang La pass from Nar to Ngwal on the Pisang route leading back into the Annapurna circuit. Just in case one 5315-meter pass isn’t enough, we will head west over the Thorong La pass (5416-meter) and down through lower Mustang where we will spend a few Day exploring before heading on to Jomsom and finally fly back to Pokhara and Kathmandu.

Nangpa La, the highest point of trekking, is the pass on the ancient trading route that linked Tibet with Nepal. From here we explore the upper reaches of the valley before making an audacious crossing of a little-known high pass named Renjo La that leads to the Gokyo Valley
