Mustang Travel Guide

The Mustang Region, divided into Upper Mustang and Lower Mustang, is one of Nepal’s most fascinating Himalayan destinations. Known for its dramatic high-altitude desert landscapes, ancient Tibetan-influenced culture, sacred monasteries, and remote villages, Mustang offers a travel experience unlike anywhere else in the country. From the windswept valleys of Upper Mustang to the greener trails and pilgrimage sites of Lower Mustang, the region blends adventure, spirituality, and raw Himalayan beauty.

Our Mustang Travel Guide brings you detailed information about both Upper and Lower Mustang, including major villages, cultural highlights, monasteries, trekking routes, road access, best viewpoints, local lifestyle, accommodation options, and practical travel tips. Whether you are walking ancient salt trade routes, visiting centuries-old caves and gompas, or standing beneath the towering cliffs of Lo Manthang, Mustang feels timeless and deeply spiritual.

We provide complete information about must-visit places such as Lo Manthang, Muktinath Temple, Jomsom, and many more. From sacred pilgrimage journeys to immersive cultural treks, our guide helps travelers understand both the landscapes and traditions of Mustang.
