Nepal Mystical Mustang Trekking
Kathmandu, Nepal to Kathmandu, Nepal
Tucked behind the legendary Himalayan peaks of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna, the forbidden kingdom of Lo was isolated for centuries. This region of Nepal, now called Mustang, is the off-the-beaten-track getaway of your dreams. Trek through this remote land, where vast monasteries stand guard over pocket-sized villages and every ridge offers another arresting vista. You'll be one of the few to discover the walled city of Lo Manthang, nearly untouched since the 14th century. Enjoy comfortable camps in the heart of Mustang and a five-star hotel experience in Kathmandu.
- Discover a long-isolated feudal kingdom, now accessible only by permit, on this Himalayan expedition

- Trek the northern Himalaya's spectacular summits and valleys with MT Sobek's top mountaineering experts
