A bespoke trekking in nepal adventure.
The Upper Mustang High Route Trek is a challenging and extraordinary Himalayan journey through one of Nepal's most remote and culturally preserved regions. 17 Days of trekking, exploration, and scenic travel take you through dramatic desert-like landscapes, ancient Tibetan-influenced villages, historic monasteries, high mountain passes, and remote valleys. Unlike the classic Upper Mustang Trek, this carefully designed high-route adventure offers a deeper and more adventurous way to experience the former Kingdom of Lo through Trekking in Nepal.
The journey begins in Kagbeni and follows the Upper Mustang trail through Chele, Syangboche, Ghami, and Charang before taking the spectacular high route toward Lo Manthang via Lo Gekar, Marang La (4,230m / 13,878ft), and Muila (4,170m / 13,681ft). Along the way, trekkers encounter colorful cliffs, barren valleys, traditional stone villages, ancient monasteries, and dramatic high-altitude landscapes that make this route distinctly different from the classic Upper Mustang trekking experience.
After exploring the historic walled city of Lo Manthang, the adventure continues toward Chhoser, Yara, Luri Gumba, Tange, and Chuksang. The journey includes a day trip to the ancient Luri Gumba, with its remarkable monastery sites at the lower level and inside the caves above, before continuing through the remote eastern landscapes of Upper Mustang. Crossing Paa Pass and following rugged trails toward Chuksang adds another challenging and rewarding dimension to the journey.

Best Time to Visit Upper Mustang High Route Trek
The best time for the Upper Mustang High Route Trek is during spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November), when the weather is generally stable, the skies are clearer, and trekking conditions are favorable. These seasons provide excellent visibility across the dramatic Mustang landscapes and surrounding Himalayan peaks, while the dry climate makes the high route particularly suitable for trekking.
Spring brings pleasant temperatures, clear mountain views, and colorful landscapes, while autumn offers stable weather and excellent visibility. Summer and monsoon (June–August) can still be suitable for Upper Mustang because the region lies in the rain shadow of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges, although travel conditions on the roads leading into the region can be affected by monsoon rainfall. Winter (December–February) brings very cold temperatures and possible snowfall, especially around the high passes, and some local facilities may operate on a limited basis.

During the trek, full-board meals are included with breakfast, lunch, and dinner served each day. At the mountain lodges and guest houses, you can choose one main course from the available menu, accompanied by a cup of tea or coffee with each meal.
Breakfast includes fresh seasonal fruits, and after dinner, fresh seasonal fruits are served as a dessert whenever available. Every morning before starting the day's hike, we also provide an energy bar to give you an extra boost and help maintain your energy until the lunch stop.

Difficulty Level & Preparation
The Upper Mustang High Route Trek is considered a challenging Himalayan trek because of its remote terrain, longer walking days, high-altitude landscapes, and demanding sections across Marang La (4,230m) and Muila (4,170m). The route is suitable for fit and well-prepared travelers, while previous high-altitude trekking experience is beneficial for the more demanding sections.
Proper acclimatization, regular walking or hiking, cardiovascular preparation, and suitable trekking equipment are important for a comfortable and enjoyable journey. The route from Charang to Lo Manthang via Lo Gekar and the two high passes is particularly demanding because of the altitude, distance, and changing mountain terrain. For more information about preparation and trekking conditions, explore our Nepal Trekking Difficulty Guide, Altitude Sickness in Nepal Guide, and Nepal Trekking Safety Guide.
