Upper Mustang Trek – A Journey into Nepal’s Hidden Kingdom

Upper Mustang Trek is a rare and fascinating adventure into Nepal’s restricted region, often called the “Last Forbidden Kingdom.” Tucked away on the remote side of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges, this trek unveils an untouched landscape rich in Tibetan culture, ancient monasteries, and breathtaking desert-like scenery. Despite being in Nepal, Upper Mustang shares deep historical and cultural ties with Tibet, making it a unique destination for trekkers seeking both adventure and heritage. The journey takes you through a surreal, arid landscape with striking rock formations, deep gorges, and windswept plateaus. Along the way, you’ll pass through centuries-old Buddhist villages, where whitewashed houses, fluttering prayer flags, and ancient chortens blend seamlessly into the rugged terrain. Lo Manthang, the walled capital of Upper Mustang, is the heart of this mystical land. This ancient city still preserves its medieval charm, featuring royal palaces, age-old monasteries, and an authentic Tibetan way of life. What makes Upper Mustang Trek even more special is its remoteness. Unlike the popular trekking routes of Nepal, this region remains largely unexplored, offering a sense of tranquility and seclusion. The stark beauty of its barren landscapes, set against the backdrop of towering snow-capped peaks, creates a dramatic contrast that leaves trekkers in awe. Along the route, you’ll encounter friendly locals who have preserved their traditions for generations, adding an enriching cultural aspect to the journey. The trek can be done either as a camping expedition or a teahouse trek, giving you the flexibility to choose your preferred style of adventure. Whether you seek the raw, immersive experience of a camping trip or the comfort of cozy local lodges, Upper Mustang promises an unforgettable journey. The region’s distinct beauty is most vibrant during the spring and autumn seasons when the dry terrain is decorated with colorful wildflowers, and the skies remain clear, offering panoramic mountain views. If you’re looking for an off-the-beaten-path Himalayan adventure, Upper Mustang Trek is the perfect choice. It’s a trek that combines history, culture, and breathtaking scenery in one extraordinary journey. Experience the last remnants of ancient Tibetan civilization, explore hidden caves and monasteries, and trek through a mystical land unlike any other.

Trip Overview : Upper Mustang Trek

Upper Mustang is tucked away on the less-traveled, “hidden” side of the Annapurna/Dhaulagiri Mustang District in the Himalayas. Despite its geographical location in Nepal, the region encircled by this trek is heavily influenced by Tibetan culture.

Thousands of years old monasteries, as well as chortens and gompas that almost blend into the landscape, offer spiritual wonder. In terms of Himalayan adventures, this circuit is off the beaten path, and the remoteness is reflected in the barren, unspoiled views and isolation of the traditional villages we visit.

This trek can be done as a camping trip or as a teahouse/lodge trip; the choice is entirely up to you and is based solely on your desire to learn about the culture and landscape. Upper Mustang Trek is a fantastic adventure in Nepal’s hidden Kingdom.

It is located in the northwestern part of Nepal, beyond the stunning Annapurna Himalayan chain, and has a large arid zone. The journey passes through a number of Tibetan Buddhist settlements as well as a dry section surrounded by brown sandstone rocks and seasonal flowers.

The trek’s main focus is Lomanthang, which is located in the heart of Upper Mustang. The trek to Upper Mustang begins in Jomsom, the district capital of Mustang. The trail follows the Kali Gandaki River’s bank. It’s a sand-filled valley with strong winds. Walking in the middle of the day is difficult.

The trail splits at Kagbeni and heads towards the Upper Mustang region. You continue onto the stone-walled town of Lomanthang, passing through typical white washed villages with fluttering flags at the tops of their houses.

Ancient caves, Buddhist monasteries, Chhortens, and other cultural treasures provide a more comprehensive picture. Tiji is one of the many festivals celebrated by the people of Upper Mustang. It is customary to ask for rain in order to avoid becoming doughty. It reaches Jomsom (an extra day is recommended to visit the Muktinath temple) and then flies back to Pokhara.

Training

Our training goal is to get you physically and mentally prepared to face the climb with more confidence. The climbing goal will be to perform consistently throughout the adventure. Fitness for mountaineering requires a high overall level of physical conditioning. Both cardiovascular and motor fitness are needed to climb at varying levels of intensity and to navigate challenging terrain, often while carrying a loaded pack and at high altitudes.

Training goals are critically important and allow you to perform better at higher altitudes and enjoy the entire adventure. We suggest that you examine the physical requirements of the climb you are approaching and work on your fitness in different levels. Click here to Learn more about Trip Grades and choose what’s best for you!

Establish a timeline for your training program and focus on specific conditioning for better results. Along with your workouts try and add hikes and climbs in the outdoors whenever possible to get more comfortable with different terrains. Sound fitness gained through a well-guided program is the only best way to ensure a safe and successful adventure.

Mountaineering Fitness and Training
It may also be helpful to break down your training timeline into a number of key phases. These are:

Phase 1 : Base physical fitness
The first phase of getting prepared for your climb is to focus on your base fitness. You should incorporate a fitness routine that focuses on both cardiovascular fitness and motor fitness training. For those who are not used to intense workouts this phase will help you to kickstart your training. Remember that consistency is the first most important factor in achieving any goal. Combine your basic fitness regimes along with running and stair climbing. You are now ready for outdoor adventures.

Phase 2 : Training specific for the climb
Once you have established your base physical fitness, you will need to train specifically for the climb. Depending on the difficulty and intensity of the climb, add advanced workout sessions combined with uphill training. Try and do the same fitness routines with some added loads. Strength training combined with cardiovascular and motor fitness will help with the overall conditioning. This will take your workouts to the next level and help gear up for the mountaineering challenge ahead.

Phase 3 : Outdoor Training
Nothing can replace training in the real outdoors. In the final phase of your training, you should be attempting climbs which are similar to the ones you are approaching. It is great to test your endurance outdoors. This gives you a great edge in preparing for conditions similar to the ones you will encounter during your expedition. It isn’t always possible to find similar terrains close to where you live, but it is best to find a hike as close to the climb as possible. This is the best way to test your climbing gears as well.
Training goals and timeline

Working out for at least 5 days in a week is the best way to get your body physically prepared for the climb ahead. Regular and consistent training always gives the best result and keeps you highly motivated. Make sure that you workout regularly and also give enough time for rest and recovery. Keep it balanced and have a properly planned fitness routine and never overdo exercises to the point of injury. While 2 to 3 months is a good amount of time to train, starting your training earlier allows more time to adjust and prepare.

I’ve been on two trips with them so far, Annapurna circuit trek and Island peak expedition. If you are planning any high altitude or extreme adventure in the Himalayas, then Protek is the team to be with. They have the knowledge and power to keep you safe all the way to the summit…

Will be back next year with you guys for another climb! Cheers!
