Mustang is part of the ancient trade route to Tibet, up the Kali Gandaki river. Traveling in Mustang is an enriching experience, with road trips gaining great popularity. Cycling is also becoming popular, offering a splendid mountain experience.
Lower Mustang is well developed and offers one of the most comfortable trails with teahouses run by Gurung and Thakali families. A week-long stay in Nepal provides the opportunity to explore Nepal's biggest apple farm, taste Thakali food, and experience peace of mind, soul, and spiritual happiness.
Lower Mustang features a deep valley and steep mountains surrounding the giant Annapurna Himal, embracing a wide range of landscapes from subtropical jungle to the high-altitude desert of the Tibetan plateau. In addition to the scenery, this is a pilgrimage route for Hindus and Buddhists, with stops at villages like Marpha, Jomsom, Kagbeni, and Muktinath, where you will meet many ethnic groups.
