FAQS ABOUT lOWER MUSTANG TREK
The treks around Jomsom are moderately difficult. The highest elevation is Muktinath at 3,762m/12,343ft, but all nights are spent below 3000 metres. It is suitable for both first-time and repeat visitors to Nepal, though a reasonable level of fitness and good health is required.
As Jomsom and Mustang are in the rain shadow of the Himalaya and receive little rainfall, this is one of the few places in Nepal that is ideal for trekking in the monsoon months (June to August). However, flights from Pokhara to Jomsom are frequently delayed at this time of year due to bad weather, so best to have a buffer of a couple days on either end to avoid missing any important connections. Like elsewhere in Nepal, spring (March-May) and fall (September to November) are also good times to go to Jomsom. but, Visiting in winter is not advised, as temperatures here get very cold, and many resources (including running water) become scarce in Mustang. Many locals shut their businesses.
Instead of heading east to Muktinath from Kagbeni, you can continue on to Lo Manthang, the capital of Upper Mustang. This adds another 8-10 days to this itinerary. Highlights include exploring the narrow streets of the old city of Lo Manthang and seeing the meditation caves cut into rock faces. Permits for trekking in Upper Mustang cost $500 for 10 days, and trekking must be done with a guide.
From Muktinath, you can join the Annapurna Circuit by crossing Thorong La (5416m). The Annapurna Circuit is one of the classic treks in Nepal, but crossing Thorong La is very difficult, and is best attempted only with proper preparation. The elevation gain will be rapid when crossing from Muktinath (3,762m), so it is important to descend to Thorong Phaedi (4540 m) on the same day. The pass often snows, and weather conditions can change rapidly. Generally, Thorong La is crossed from east to west.
The Lower Mustang trek is quite a safe destination. The locals of the region are very friendly and welcoming. However, due to complicated terrain and remote conditions, trekkers have to be well-prepared and physically fit. The primary safety considerations include altitude sickness, weather changes, and landslide potential, especially during the monsoon season.
Rest assured that you will be in good hands with our experienced trek leaders, who have multiple years of experience trekking in Nepal. All of our guides, known as, are locals with a deep understanding of the mountain, its people, culture, health, hygiene, and most importantly, your safety. They are fluent in English and will be able to communicate effectively with you throughout the trek. Our guides are passionate about their work and will ensure that you have a safe and enjoyable trekking experience.

Standard Group Trek: USD 1250 – 1450 per person – all include
Private/Customized Trek: USD 1450 – 1750 – all include
