Mustang Trek

Mustang is one of 75 districts in Nepal. Mustang is a country located behind the Himalayas. Historically, Mustang was a separate kingdom, and in the late 18th century, it was annexed by the central kingdom of Nepal. It was getting honor and all kinds of royal facilities from the central government. After 2008, when the monarchy ended, no facilities were provided for the Mustang king, but he remained an honor to the people of Mustang. About 1500 people are staying in Mustang.

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 issued by the Nepal government's immigration office. Lower Mustang is known as the capital of delicious apples. Thakali food is a mouth-watering Nepali dish: apple cider, brandy, apple pie, and many more foods and drinks. For transportation, you can reach Mustang by air or overland.

Mustang is known as the high Himalayan desert with few trees. The Mustang trek passes through the Kaligandaki Valley, known as the deepest and windiest valley in the world. This area is culturally different, with many old monasteries, man-made 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. The Upper Mustang trek may be expensive due to 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.
