Mustang Region

Mystical Upper Mustang Trek

The Upper Mustang Trek with Candeo Himalaya Treks is a 16-day journey into Nepal’s hidden Himalayan desert, once known as the Forbidden Kingdom of Lo. Opened to foreigners only in 1992, Upper Mustang preserves ancient Tibetan Buddhist culture, medieval villages, dramatic canyon landscapes, and centuries-old monasteries untouched by mass tourism. Starting from Kagbeni and leading to the ancient walled city of Lo Manthang, the trek follows remote trails beneath the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges near the Tibetan border. Along the route, you experience authentic Loba culture, traditional monasteries, ancient sky caves, and the raw beauty of the Trans-Himalayan landscape. This restricted region offers a rare Himalayan experience focused on culture, history, and wilderness rather than extreme altitude or crowded trekking routes.
