Kathmandu is known as the city of gods, the live museum for exploring ancient temples, religious locations, and cultural heritage sites, many of which are ranked UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Exploring religiously valued places such as Boudhanath, Pashupatinath temple, and Swayambhunath, we will witness the beauty of historic Kathmandu Durbar square to have a glimpse of ancient Nepal.
The day is also for preparing the trekking documents as we need special permission for the Upper Mustang trekking. We will arrange the permits while you explore Kathmandu.
After a delightful breakfast early in the morning, we will drive to Pokhara enjoying scenic views on our 6 to 7 hours ride. You have the rest of the day to rest or roam around the lakesides and explore the city lifestyle of locals.
Today we will commence our trek on foot from breezy Jomson, where we will reach on a short-haul flight from Pokhara. During the flight, you will pass through the dazzling Annapurna range and Mt. Dhaulagiri as you enjoy awesome views of high hills and mountains to land at Jomsom where we will take a short break before ascending toward Kagbeni. The jaw-dropping Himalayan views alongside the beautiful Kali Gandaki River please you on your 3 hours walk to arrive at Kagbeni from Jomsom. We will stay overnight at a guest house in Kagbeni.
After going through the permit formalities to have our documents checked, we will start our trekking early in the morning passing through the Tangbe village. The village with narrow alleys is unabridged with barley, wheat, and apple trees with traditional houses constructed using stone and mud. From here, we move onwards to Chuksang valley witnessing the breathtaking scenario of the sun rising over the Nilgiri sky. From Chuksang, the trail ascends uphill to Chele from where the Mountain views just get more astounding. We will stay overnight at a guest house.
Today’s trek is somewhat challenging as we will be walking through very steep climbs as well as downslopes in wavy trails. The snow-capped peak follows us as we drop through Chortens on a ridge to arrive at Samar village, from where the trail climbs upward the ridge before descending again to a stupendous narrow valley through the gigantic hills. We will continue our walk and go through multiple ridges to finally arrive at Syangboche. We will stay overnight at a tea house lodge.
Today, we will ascend very few uphills, so the trek is a bit easier than the previous day. The day starts ascending alongside the distinct reddish-red landscapes to arrive at Yamada La Pass before descending to Gelling village. From here, a trail passes through the Nyi La pass village, the third-largest village in the region where the big brown hills surging over you from the top creates an extraordinary scenario to amaze you. Then, passing through a broad valley with many wonderful Chortens, tea houses, and gompas, we will finally arrive at Ghami, our destination for the day. We will stay overnight at a guest house.
The trekking route is shorter today but can be moderate-challenging as we walk through the rough terrain. We will start walking early in the morning toward Charang, the village with amazing red Gompas clustered with marvelous thangkas and statues. Upon arrival, we will take some rest enjoying the mountain views on our sides. The rest of the day is for exploring an ancient village.
Today, we will arrive at Lo Manthang, also known as the capital of upper mustang which is one of the major highlights of the trekking. The much-awaited day starts with a descent from Charang with incredible views of gigantic peaks including Nilgiri, Tilichi, and Annapurna I before the trail ascends steeply uphill after crossing the river to arrive at Lo Manthang. Here, we will spend two days adjusting our bodies to upper mustang weather, and altitude and exploring the magnificent village as a whole. We will observe the ancient monasteries and temples of a walled city with Lama Guru’s settlement. Also, you have an opportunity to visit the Historic palace, the home of the great King and Queen of Lo Manthang.
Blessed with lifelong memories from a mystical village, we will make a way to Tamar, from where we prepare for the return path on our trek. Waving final goodbye to Lo Manthang, we pass through the Kali Gandaki to move uphill to arrive at Dungri la Pass enjoying the diverse landscape before descending to arrive at Tamar. We will stay overnight at a guest house.
Once again enjoying the exceptional view of the Nilgiri, we ascend above Ghami to go through a few other passes observing the spectacular Himalayas arriving at Ja Myung. We will observe attractive monasteries and gompas before we continue walking on the trail to reach Syangboche.
Starting the day early in the morning, we will return past Samar and Gaikar accompanied by splendid views of Nilgiri and Tilicho to reach the walled Tentang village.
Today, the trek is going to be more challenging than the previous days as we will start the day ascending steep uphill for continuous 3 hours. However, you are rewarded by the brilliant views of Annapurna, Tilicho, and Thorung which overweigh the difficulties you faced during your hike. From here, the path is less difficult heading toward Muktinath enjoying the top view of Kagbeni on the way. Muktinath temple on the lap of the huge Thorong La pass is a Hindu temple highly valued with spiritual beliefs.
The trek on foot ends today. We will enjoy breakfast with a beautiful view of Dhaulagiri admiring the first rays of the sun. Then visiting the Bon Punt monastery in Lubra, the return trail goes through Kali Gandaki River to arrive at blowy Jomsom.
After breakfast, we will return to Pokhara on a flight once again treating our eyes with awesome views of high heels and the Himalayas from the top. Upon reaching Pokhara, we will transfer you to the Pokhara hotel. The rest of the day, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery in the city by visiting the local cultural sites.
We will take a drive back to Kathmandu by tourist bus enjoying scenic mountain views that keep you awake throughout the way. Upon arrival, we will transfer you to the Kathmandu hotel. In the evening, we will host a dinner at an authentic Nepali restaurant with traditional Nepalese dishes to celebrate the outstanding tour together.
