Lower Mustang Trek

One of our representatives will pick you up at the airport to accompany you to the hotel. Depending on the arrival time, we will visit some of the most important places in the capital. Meeting at night in the hotel for the briefing of the entire trip.

On this day, we will travel by road from the capital to the city of Pokhara. The journey will take around 10 hours.

We will land in Jomsom, at an altitude of 2696 meters. In this first stretch of the route, we will have to cross the valley by crossing the river stream at various points. Kagbeni, a green oasis amidst the brown mountains, marks the boundary between Lower and Upper Mustang. However, we can go a little further and approach the village of Tiri before returning to Kagbeni to spend the night.

The next day you will arrive in Jhong.

A Tibetan village hidden among mountains that has hardly had any contact with tourism. The ideal place to disconnect while walking among colorful praying flags.

Passing through Muktinath (3750m). Muktinath is a sacred place and a pilgrimage center for both Buddhists and Hindus. After visiting the temple, of great cultural value, receiving the red tikka and bathing in its fountains as a symbol of blessing, the route continues to Jarkot, one of the most beautiful villages on the entire trek.

Today the landscape changes completely. For a moment you will think that you are walking among the green Irish hills. The route continues to Lubra, the only village in the area where the Bon religion, a pre-Buddhist animistic Tibetan religion, is still practiced. You will have the feeling of having traveled back in time.

Leaving the village of Lubra behind, you will arrive at one of the best-preserved villages on the route. Marpha is famous for its apples. You can’t leave without trying its cider, apple pie, or if you prefer, a little Brandy. It is a large village where you can visit its monastery and immerse yourself in the Buddhist atmosphere while interacting with its monks.

It’s time to say goodbye to the trek, but not before taking one last walk surrounded by an alpine landscape full of lakes and numerous waterfalls.

From Kalopani, we will wake up with incredible views of two eight-thousanders: Annapurna I and Dhaulagiri I. We will return to Pokhara in the afternoon by jeep.

After breakfast, we begin our journey back to Kathmandu by vehicle. The scenic drive takes around 10 hours before arriving in the captivating Thamel, where you will be dropped off comfortably at your hotel.

Following our trek, we will explore the historically and culturally rich Kathmandu Valley. Highlights include leisurely tours of Swayambhunath Temple (also known as Monkey Temple), Bauddhanath, Pashupatinath Temple, and Durbar Square. After several days in the mountains, we can soak in these iconic sites that represent the essence of Kathmandu and the heritage of Nepal.

You will be dropped off at the airport in a car or jeep prior to your flight departure time.
