The Upper Mustang Discovery is a journey into the "Forbidden Kingdom" of Lo Manthang. Shielded from the outside world for centuries, this arid, high-altitude desert offers a glimpse into preserved Tibetan culture and raw, untouched Himalayan landscapes.
Starting from Pokhara, the route follows the Kali Gandaki corridor by private Scorpio Jeep toward Jomsom, Kagbeni, and the restricted Upper Mustang region. The road passes through dramatic cliffs, dry plateaus, ancient settlements, and wide Himalayan desert landscapes.
The highlight of the journey is reaching the walled city of Lo Manthang. Here, you'll explore centuries-old monasteries, cave dwellings, and the rich Buddhist heritage that defines this mystical region.
Explore the ancient capital of the Mustang region, shielded from the outside world for centuries. Wander through its narrow alleyways, discover centuries-old monasteries, and experience a preserved Tibetan culture surrounded by stark, dramatic landscapes.
Carved high into the sheer, golden cliff faces of the Mustang region are thousands of man-made sky caves. Many of these contain priceless Buddhist murals, ancient manuscripts, and meditation chambers used by lamas centuries ago. Exploring these mystical caves is like stepping back in time and offers a profound connection to Tibetan Buddhism.
