Mustang Trek

Mustang is one district of 75 in Nepal. Mustang is known as a country that is behind the Himalayas. Once in history, the Mustang was a separate kingdom, and in the latter 18th, the Mustang was attached to the central kingdom of Nepal. It was getting honor and all kinds of royal facilities from the central government. After 2008, when the monarchy was gone, no more facilities were provided for the Mustang king, but still, the king was an honor for the people of Mustang. About 1500 people are staying in Mustang.

The Mustang has been divided into two parts: the upper Mustang and the lower Mustang. Mustang is in the Annapurna area. People are more like Tibetans from the upper Mustang and Thakalis from the lower Mustang. Before 1992, foreign visitors were not allowed to visit this area. Then, tourists could travel to this region with a unique (restricted) permit, which is issued by the immigration of the Nepal government. Lower Mustang is known as the capital of delicious apples. Thakali food is a mouth-watering Nepali food: apple cider, brandy, apple pie, and many more foods and drinks. For the transport, you can get into Mustang by flight or by overland.

Mustang is known as the high Himalayan desert with few trees. The Mustang trek goes through Kaligandaki Valley, which is known as the deepest and windiest valley in the world. This area is culturally different, with many old monasteries, mane walls, and other Buddhist monuments. Festivals, the polyandry marriage system, and sky burials are strange for visitors.

Frolic Adventure offers some tour and trek packages to Upper and Lower Mustang. Upper Mustang trek might be expensive in some ways cause of restricted area permits, but it is an outstanding trekking region. We organize the Mustang tour by private vehicle, which can be cheaper than trekking. We will also make the itinerary for the cycling tour to Mustang.
