Upper Mustang trekking in Nepal was officially opened in 1992. Particularly limited numbers of trekkers are only allowed each year. Thus to protect and conserve the local Tibetan tradition and the fragile environment. Mustang trek unfolds the fabled forbidden kingdom’s vast and arid valleys, eroded canyons, yak caravans. Amazing landscape, Further more the colourful – painted mud brick houses next to majestic mountain of Nilgiri, Annapurna, Dhaulagiri ranges.
The remote and mysterious region of Mustang is situated in the far north of Nepal, beyond the mountain giants of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna, and extending into the highlands of Tibet. It is a vast, high, arid valley characterised by eroded canyons and colourful stratified rock formations with a barren, desert-like appearance fringed by snow-capped peaks. Lying in the rain shadow of the Himalaya it is an ideal region to explore in the summer, outside of the normal Nepal trekking season
Highlights
- Visit a small Buddhist kingdom that until relatively recently was closed to the outside world.
- Attractive Tibetan-style villages with a strong, well preserved Tibetan culture and intriguing long-abandoned cliff dwellings and ancient cave monasteries.
- A dramatic desert landscape with incredible ‘organ-pipe’ cliffs, set against a backdrop of the mighty snow-capped Himalaya.
- While on trek stay in charming teahouses, small hotels and lodges
- hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara and a combination of teahouses and lodges on trek.
Best Season:
Upper Mustang lies in the rain shadow of the Himalaya, making it a great monsoon trek and open year-round for trekking. The main consideration is the winter, when most residents leave the capital to avoid the cold and snow. Generally, the best time to visit Upper Mustang is from March to early November.
WHY WAS THE UPPER MUSTANG REGION RESTRICTED?
Upper Mustang Permit Cost in Summary:
- Restricted Permit Cost: $500 per person for 10 days. If longer is required, an additional $50 per day is charged
- ACAP Permit: $20 per person.

Departure from France and arrival in Kathmandu.
Welcome by Bishal and overnight at the Hotel Padma or mandala hotel in Boudhanath.
Day 3.

Days 4, 5 and 6.
Transfer to Pokhara then Beni, to Tatopani, Marpha and Jomosom going up the entire Kali Gandaki valley. A little walk to reach the village of Luprak. night in a lodge. And inevitably a visit to the Bön monastery of Lupra, to underline the importance of this religion too often denigrated or forgotten.
Days 7 & 8.
Entrance to Mustang from above to visit Luprak and Muktinath and make a detour to Jhong. crossing the Gyu La will also facilitate our acclimatization. The arrival at Tetang from above is beautiful, one of the beautiful villages of Mustang.overnight in Chhusang or Tetang.
Day 9. Chhusang – Gyakar – Samar.
Here we are in Seke territory, in the historic Low Mustang. The road is easily avoided by the old path of Gyakar for those who make the effort.
On the cultural side, the new Samar gompa presents beautiful recent but significant paintings of Ningpa and Kagyu iconography.overnight in Samar.
Day 10 & 11. Samar – Chunsi Hermitage – Geling – Ghami – Dhakmar.
A breathtaking landscape, a surprising sacred place, a large typical village, several passes to cross, inter-village trails and others less frequented, the road too. Here we are in the kingdom of Guru Rimpoche, the great Buddhist master on his way to Tibet. Everything here reminds us of its presence and especially the blood-red cliffs of Dhakmar. Nights in Geling and Dhakmar.
Day 12. Dhakmar – Gar Gompa – Chogo La – Lo Manthang
A long day to arrive from the top in the mythical fortified city of the Kingdom of Lo. And in passing, a step back in time to visit the first Mustang monastery, built in connection with that of Samye in Tibet. When Buddhist history and chronicles complement each other.
Day 13 to 15. Konchok Ling – Niphu – Nyamdo – Kimaling – Lo Manthang.
Without hesitation, the most beautiful hike on the mustang.
Such an exceptional hike that a trip to a Mustang without returning to Konchokling is inconceivable! A landscape, an incredible atmosphere. Over time, the delicate paintings of Snow Leopard Cave slowly fade. The impermanence of things, even the most beautiful …

In particular, the ridge route to reach Dhi and the large plateaus between Yara and the new village of Dhye. Dhye is a village outside the usual routes which suffers from a dramatic lack of water and yet is worth a visit. It will be for next time ! Be careful, to reach Tsarang, we will have to cross the river which will become the Kali Gandaki lower down. A passage from Peysel’s book clearly illustrates the difficulties of this crossing…, it is up to us to choose the best route, the map is now relatively precise.

The Mustang trek is not particularly difficult, the highest point reached being all must 4000 meters, but the conditions at times can be arduous. Mustang is cold in winter and is always windy and dusty through the year. Winter treks are best avoided due to harsh weather.
Due to the altitude and dry atmosphere, there is considered a challenging trek. While you watch the locals whizz past you at speed, you are working hard to catch your breath and wonder ‘why?’
Remember that they were born at altitude and like the Sherpas living in the Khumbu (Everest) Region the Tibetan Buddhist origin locals of Upper Mustang were born to less oxygen content and the dryness of the air.
Like all treks in the Nepal Himalayas, there are ups and downs to challenge you. High passes to cross, and steep descents to negotiate.
But then there are the wonderful mountains and the fact you are in the stunning Kingdom of Lo to compensate you.
As far as weather is concerned, being that this trek is in the rain shadow, you can do this
Although we don’t recommend doing it in the winter when the snow is deep and a lot of locals leave for Pokhara or Kathmandu to ride out the winter. What we really mean is you can do this trek in the monsoon (June – September) without fear of rain and muddy trails.

General trekkers going to higher altitudes quickly the problems like headache, Nausea, shortness of breath, tiredness encountered at high altitude i.e. above 8000 ft. Factor of Altitude Sickness.
Specially, in trekking in Himalaya there are problems of Altitude Sickness (AMS). Our bodies have the ability to adjust to higher altitudes if given enough time. This process of adaptation is called acclimatization. Altitude illnesses observed in Nepal include acute mountain sickness (AMS), High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE), the presence of fluid in the lungs. High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE), swelling of the brain. And High Altitude Retinal Hemorrhage (HARH), bleeding in the retina of the eye.
Will somebody come to pick me up at the Airport?

New Dolpo Gyaekochen Trek
Duration : 4 weeks
Difficulty : Medium
Max Altitude : 5800m
Accomodation : Hotel & Camping
Start Date : 14/08/2021
Price per Person: 4550€
Dolpo Trek is meant for real adventurers wishing for an off-the-beaten-track experience. The trek passes through Shey-Phoksundo National Park, with spectacular mountain scenery, Buddhist monasteries and yak caravans. Our trek through a wooded area, then through rugged canyons in the barren plateau near the border with Tibet. Experience the high altitude tundra and rocks and the microclimate of Lower Dolpo and Phoksundo, with the cold air of the glaciers of Kanjiroba.
The Dolpo Trek is a more moderate trek through Dolpo with its maximum elevation at the Numa La (5238m). It is still high and remote, though. The main attractions are the lively local culture, the charming turquoise lake of Phoksundo (the deepest lake of Nepal) and the snow-capped Himalayan peaks. The locals believe that the lake is the manifestation of a popular female deity, Tara.
Trip Highlights of New Dolpo Gyaekochen trek.
- Adventurous trek to the remote Himalayan region of Nepal.
- Insight into unique Bon and Buddhism culture.
- Visit to the majestic Phoksundo Lake and pristine mountain views.
Phoksumdo (Phug gsum mdo)
Phoksumdo ( Phug gsum mdo ) “the hollow where three rivers meet” refers to the turquoise-colored lake, surrounded by cliffs on three of its sides, whose water flows into the valley through a 150 m high waterfall.
Phoksumdo, a story of communities.
The inhabitants of Phoksumdo belong to a small community, speaking Tibetan and of Bon religion; the two main villages being Tsho (t sho yul ) and Pugmo ( spung mo ). These two communities form the administrative unit called the Phoksumdo Village Development Committee (VDC).
Tsho or Tsho Yul, the “village of the lake” is the local name of the village called Ringmo or Reng on Nepalese maps.
The two villages also form a cultural unit called Reng spung mo whose inhabitants only marry each other, practicing a strict endogamy which notably excludes the inhabitants of Tibetan culture from the villages of the upper Dolpo. This restriction is surprising because, historically, it is possible to trace the origin of some clans of Reng spung mo to scions of Tibetan clans of Dolpo. Likewise the böns gompas of Pugmo, Tsho but also Dho / Tarap and Tsharka are secondary creations of the monastery of Samling, itself a secondary foundation of the Bön monastery of Lubra in Mustang.
Despite the fact that, according to legend, a Bon sage: Drenpa Namkha pacified the region of Pugmo and a Buddhist saint Padmasmabhava did the same in Tsho, the inhabitants of the two villages now follow the rites of the Bon faith.
The belief in gods of the territory ( yul lha) is common and the existing relations between these gods help to unite the two communities.
This unity is reflected in marriage practices but also in the joint participation in festivals intended to honor the yul lha , in pilgrimages (Lama Chumik and Jagdul), in the existence of a specific dialect (Phoksumdo-ke) differing largely dialects spoken in the villages of upper Dolpo, further north.
Initially this area was populated successively by members of several Tibetan clans from Tibet, Mustang and western Nepal. These different migrations gradually united to form a religious, economic entity differentiating itself from the neighboring populations.
According to oral tradition, the valley where Pugmo is located was visited for the first time by the sage Bönpo Drenpa Namkha . Riding a ray of sunshine, he applied himself to defeating the local gods, demons and spirits ( yul sa, sadak, gzhi bdak etc.) inhabiting the mountains, valleys, rivers and forests of the region by transforming them into protectors of the Bönpo doctrine.
Bon or Buddhism, Matri or Mani, from the right or from the left?
This text by Etienne Principaud “enlightens” us on the complexity of a striking element of the sacred landscape of the Tibetan cultural sphere, the walls of Mani (which can therefore be walls of Matri )
Bon and Buddhism at Dolpo.
The coexistence between Bonpos and Buddhists in Dolpo is reflected in the sacred landscape of the villages.
The chörtens and matri walls built by the bönpos must thus be bypassed on the right, while the mani walls belonging to the Buddhist religion must be bypassed on the left .
Beware of errors of meaning when crossing the villages!
If one wants to look carefully at the mantras engraved on the stones of the walls, it is possible to define their belonging.
The most important mantra of the Buddhist religion is the famous “Om mani pèmé hung”
This is the six syllable mantra of the boddhisatva of compassion Avalokitesvara (Chenrezi) .
It is easily recognizable.
Its translation roughly means “homage to the jewel of the lotus” and more precisely “the jewel in the lotus” .
Each of its six syllables called bija, symbolizes one of the domains or kingdoms of existence, from the paradises of the devas to the hell. It is therefore to the entire universe that the practitioner sends his compassion.
The most famous mantra of the Bon religion is ” om ma tri mu ye sa le dhu “
Om represents Tonpa Shenrab, the founder of Bön.In Bonpo representations, the syllable Om is five colors corresponding to the five wisdoms and the five elements.Ma represents Sherab Chamma, the loving mother, female counterpart of Tonpa Shenrab. Ma also symbolizes clarity and wisdom and Om symbolizes emptiness and method.From the union of the two emanates the following six seed syllables symbolizing the Buddhas of the six realms of existence. Together also defined under the name of the six teachers of the discipline Dulwa Shen Drug represented in the center of the “wheels of life” bönpos
Gyaekochen:
how to “open” a new trekking route in the heart of Dolpo and above all share information so that the Gyaekochen Trek becomes a classic trek or at least, a little frequented and appreciated. It takes time for a new hiking route to emerge and the idea for this Gyaekochen trek was born during the descent of the putha hiunchuli in the fall of 2016 while taking photos of a small summit north of kakkot that I had never noticed before….
Despite the altitude, the trail to the Gyaekochen Pass 5318 m is very simple.Take the slightly steep trail on the other side of the khola. It leads through pastures then remains on the left bank of the valley on a shoulder. Descend slightly to a river and go up the stony valley opposite, it ends on the large flat area with the two lakes. The last climb to the pass seems steep with slabs, but still very pleasant. The pass is easily crossed. Of course, with prayer flags. Descend slightly and cross ascending to the right to cross the second pass a little higher. Locate the mule trail towards a ridge and join it as best as possible. From the pass, either descend directly if there is no snow. In case of snow…, go up the ridge for about 100 m until you can cross into a large valley, descend into this scree valley then, absolutely cross to the right (towards the pass) to take the classic descent path. It rejoins the flat of the valley which must be descended as simply as possible.
Lower and Upper Dolpo, Means of transport used in Nepal.
Dolpo is a difficult region to access, unless you have several extra weeks to travel on foot from Darbang to Dunai via Dhorpatan and the Jangla Pass. And despite the progress of the Nepalese road network which is progressing slowly towards Dunai and towards Dho.
But the road (in reality, a more or less rough track depending on the season!) Will only make the organization of the logistics a little easier for the Nepalese team.
For us, the duration of the journey but especially the discomfort of the bus trip, causes too much fatigue for a start to a stay at altitude. Which is incompatible with good acclimatization.
And I’m not even talking about the anguish when the bus wheel passes 10 cm from a precipice, on an unstable shoulder.
The use of domestic air flights remains the most relevant solution ( not to say compulsory ).
Obviously there are meteorological hazards because these are small mountain airfields requiring visual flight, and for that we have planned extra days, “of safety”.
The itinerary below is intended as a guideline only, although every effort will be made to adhere to it, changes may be forced upon it by weather conditions, transport failure or other unforeseen events. You should be prepared to be flexible where necessary.
The outward journey is for the moment quite simple. We have to link two flights, Kathmandu / Nepalganj at the end of the afternoon with a night at the Sidhartha Hotel or Travaller’s village. then the next day at dawn Nepalganj / Juphal, always so random.
Baggage handling for this last mountain flight is no easy task either, even though the opening of the road to Dunai made it easier for the Nepalese team to travel.
When you book with Himalayan Travellers, we want you to know exactly how much the trip is going to cost you, with absolutely no hidden extras or last-minute costs. Our fully inclusive land-only price includes almost everything. if you want to give something for your trekking and expedition staff you can give..otherwise all includes.
The following are included in our price:
- Supervision by a Nepalese trekking guide, cook and cook staff, porters or Mules
- Accommodation in a hotel in Kathmandu and Nepalgunj B/B plans. then camping trek.
- Local transfers by bus, jeep, and plane.
- Full board during the trek.

- Repatriation and Traveling/ or cancellation assistance insurance
- The Nepalese visa.
- Drinks and personal expenses
- Individual equipment
- Evening and midday meals in Kathmandu
All of our treks and expeditions come with a suggested difficulty level to help you choose the correct one.
It is considered challenging to trek in Dolpo. There are steep climbs, passes more then 5000 meters, several nights over 3500 meters. And some long, six-hours or more trekking days. The fact that this is a camping trek adds to the physical challenge and discomfort of hiking in Dolpo, and it is recommended to have rest days.
