Fantastic landscape and authentic native Upper Mustang lifestyle
In April 2024 we travelled first-time to the Himalayas and chose Upper Mustang for the well-preserved lifestyle and landscape. Also, elevation rarely exceeded 4000m. High peaks can be seen from the trek all the time, although in a distance. The trek is mainly through sandy and rocky terrain and easy to walk once we adopted the walking distances and techniques compared to our normal sea-level hikes. Great cultural experience in the monasteries, temples and villages on the way. Accommodation in simple teahouses with one central room with fireplace was part of the journey.
Special thanks to the greatly inspiring and caretaking Everest Trekking Routes team - Rabin as agent , Karna as guide and Madan as support.
We are looking forward to the next travel to the Himalayas and will nhappily return to Rabin, Karna and Madan.

Amazing experience
Traveling to the Mustang is moving to a different world, outside the space and time to which we are accustomed. Amazing landscapes, very little crowded and quite dusty.
The organization of the trek was perfect and very friendly

Different trekking and, at the moment, not very crowded
A very interesting trek. It is not high mountain but the Iowa, the landscapes and the heritage are unique.
Both the agency, the guide and the porter have been helpful, kind and patient.
We contacted the agency from Spain and when we arrived in Kathmandu there were no problems. Quite the opposite. They adapted to our requests.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your excellent feedback, Josep. Hope to see you again.
