Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, you will be welcomed by our representative and transferred to your hotel in Kathmandu. After check-in, the remainder of the day is free to rest or explore nearby streets filled with temples, markets, and cafés. In the evening, a detailed trek briefing will be provided, including route overview, permits, safety guidelines, and final equipment checks.

Today is dedicated to cultural sightseeing around the Kathmandu Valley. You will visit ancient temples, Buddhist stupas, and historical squares that reflect Nepal’s deep Hindu and Buddhist heritage. Easy walking routes allow ample time to observe architecture, rituals, and daily local life. The afternoon is reserved for trek preparation and final packing.

After breakfast, travel from Kathmandu to Pokhara on a VIP Sofa Seater Luxury Tourist Bus, offering spacious seating and scenic countryside views. The drive follows river valleys, terraced hills, and rural settlements before reaching Pokhara, a relaxed lakeside city beneath the Annapurna range.

An early morning flight takes you from Pokhara to Jomsom with spectacular mountain views. After landing, the trek begins along the Kali Gandaki Valley, following a wide trail through arid landscapes. The walk is gentle and ideal for acclimatization, leading to Kagbeni, a historic medieval village that marks the entrance to Upper Mustang.

Leaving Kagbeni, the trail follows the Kali Gandaki River before climbing steeply through narrow gorges and exposed ridges. You pass traditional villages such as Tangbe and Chhusang, known for whitewashed houses and apple orchards. The day ends at Chele village, perched above the river valley.

The trail climbs steadily through dry, rugged terrain with deep canyons and eroded cliffs. You cross small passes and walk beneath colorful rock formations shaped by wind and time. Geling is a quiet Mustang village surrounded by open landscapes and stone-built homes reflecting Tibetan architecture.

Today’s trek crosses high ridges and open plateaus before descending toward Charang. You pass Mustang’s longest mani wall, carved with ancient Buddhist prayers. Charang is one of the most culturally significant villages in Upper Mustang, home to a large monastery and traditional fortress overlooking the valley.

After visiting the historic Lo Gekar Monastery, the trail continues across open plains toward Lo Manthang. The walled city gradually appears against the barren landscape. Entering Lo Manthang feels like stepping back in time, with royal palaces, monasteries, and narrow alleyways preserving ancient traditions.

A full day is spent exploring Lo Manthang and its surroundings. You hike to Namgyal Gompa, the region’s most important monastery, offering panoramic views over the Mustang plateau. Additional visits include royal palaces, local monasteries, and nearby villages, providing deep insight into Tibetan-influenced culture and lifestyle.

Today is the most challenging and rewarding trekking day. The trail climbs gradually to Chogo La Pass, the highest point of the trek. After crossing the pass, you visit Ghar Gompa, one of Mustang’s oldest monasteries, before descending to Dhakmar village, known for its striking red cliffs.

The trail descends gently through wide valleys and ancient settlements. Passing Ghami village and prayer walls, the walk is scenic and culturally rich. Shyangmochen is a small settlement surrounded by vast open terrain and traditional Mustang landscapes.

Today’s walk follows high desert trails lined with chortens and eroded cliffs. Optional side visits to nearby caves add cultural interest. As you descend, the air becomes warmer and vegetation slightly denser, leading to Chhusang village beside the Kali Gandaki River.

The trail climbs steadily toward Muktinath, a sacred pilgrimage site revered by both Hindus and Buddhists. Surrounding views of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges enhance the spiritual atmosphere. Arrival at Muktinath marks an important cultural and religious highlight of the trek.

After a morning visit to Muktinath Temple, the trail descends through Jharkot and follows the Kali Gandaki Valley to Jomsom. The walk is long but mostly downhill, with wide valley views and strong mountain winds common in the afternoon.

An early morning flight takes you from Jomsom to Pokhara, offering final aerial views of the Mustang region and Annapurna range. The rest of the day is free to relax at Lakeside, enjoy cafés, or reflect on the trekking journey.

Return to Kathmandu on a VIP Sofa Seater Luxury Tourist Bus from Pokhara to Kathmandu, enjoying a comfortable ride through river valleys and countryside towns. Upon arrival, the evening is free for souvenir shopping or a farewell dinner.
