Overview

Trip Highlights

The core highlights of Upper Mustang include the walled city of Lo Manthang, Shangri-La landscape, ancient sky caves, and centuries-old Buddhist monasteries. This remote region of Nepal offers a unique Tibetan Buddhist culture, dramatic red cliff landscapes, and deep historical significance.

Historical & Cultural Centers

Lo-Manthang: Is the historic capital and medieval walled settlement of the former Kingdom of Lo, surrounded by a massive earthen wall built in the 15th century at an altitude of approximately 3,840 meters above sea level. It serves as the cultural heart of a high-altitude desert region heavily inspired by Tibetan Buddhism
The Walled Complex: The core city is completely enclosed by an 856-meter-long, 6-meter-high earthen mud-brick wall built to shield residents from fierce Himalayan winds.
The People: The local inhabitants are known as Lobas, who share distinct language, ethnic, and cultural practices deeply tied to Western Tibet.
Tiji festival: The most famous festival in Upper Mustang is the Tiji Festival, also known as Tenchi or Tenpa Chirim. It translates to "Prayer for World Peace," highlighting its deep spiritual significance to the local Loba people. It is a grand Tibetan Buddhist ritual that symbolizes the "mythological victory of good over evil spirits. Tiji festival is celebrated annually over three consecutive days inside the historic, walled capital of Lo Manthang.

The Sangri- La Landscape

The Upper Mustang landscape represents a real-world "Shangri-La", where a barren, sun-bleached desert unexpectedly collides with majestic, snow-capped Himalayan peaks. This legendary hidden valley remains pristine due to centuries of isolation, preserving an untouched Tibetan Buddhist culture within a dramatic, otherworldly ecosystem. The features of the Upper Mustang Landscape:

Arid Badlands: Rolling hills and vast plains covered in parched, wind-eroded soil with minimal vegetation, featuring deep shades of red, ochre, and iron-grey, which shift colors vividly depending on the angle of the sun.
Fluted Earth Cliffs: Towering, vertical rock formations carved over millennia by intense winds, displaying striking hues of red, ochre, grey, and brown.
Deep River Gorges: The powerful surrounding Rivers including Kali Gandaki River, cut directly through the terrain, forming deep canyons that form the spine of the regional transit corridor.
Spiritual Geography: The entire terrain is treated as a sacred map. Giant stone entry gates (Kani), long Mani walls built from hand-carved prayer stones, and chortens painted in organic red, white, and blue pigments line every trail to ward off negative spirits.
Man-Made Sky Caves: Thousands of ancient, multi-tiered cliff dwellings are carved directly into the sheer vertical rock faces, some hanging hundreds of feet above valley floors
Hidden Oasis Villages: Villages like Marpha, Kagbeni, Chhuksang, Chele, Samar, Gilling, Ghami, Dakmar Tsarang, Yaraa, Tange, nd Lomanthang emerge like mirages, offering patches of bright green fields irrigated entirely by glacial streams.

Ancient Monasteries & Chortens

Tsarang Gompa: A massive 14th-century fortress-style monastery located in Tsarang Village at 3560 meters. It serves as one of the largest and most historically dominant spiritual centers of the ancient Kingdom of Lo, second only to the complex in the capital of Lo Manthang, and it belongs to the Sakya school of Tibetan Buddhism.
Ghar Gompa (Lo Gekar): Built in the 8th century by Guru Rinpoche, making it one of the oldest active Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in the world.
Luri Gompa (also spelled Luri Gumba) is an extraordinary, 800-year-old Tibetan Buddhist cave monastery located at Ghara village, 4,005 meters above sea level. Associated primarily with the Nyingma (and Kagyu) sects of Tantric Tibetan Buddhism.
Thubchen Gompa: A massive 15th-century monastery in Lo Manthang featuring grand red pillars and beautifully restored murals.
Jampa Gompa: Known as the "House of Maitreya," this 15th-century structure houses a massive three-story statue of the Future Buddha.
Nyphu Gompa: Built in the 14th century Tibetan Buddhist cave monastery is another very famous Gompa in Upper Mustang, located in Chhosser. It belongs to the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism and serves as one of the most culturally significant active spiritual sites north of the walled capital of Lo Manthang.

Ancient Caves

Caves: There are very interesting caves in Upper Mustang, which depict the ancient culture and civilizations of Upper Mustang. The surrounding cliffs feature ancient, multi-tiered man-made caves dating back to earlier than the 12th century. The caves are decorated with invaluable Buddhist murals and Tibetan script paintings hanging hundreds of feet above the valley floor. Nowadays, it is impossible to climb into some caves because of land erosion or water cutting down the floor level. These caves were used for nesting during a nomadic lifestyle in the Himalayas.

Sometimes, it was used as a defensive bunker. During ancient tribal wars and territorial invasions, entire communities would climb up the cliff, pull up the ladders, and remain completely secure out of enemy reach. In much later centuries, after the regional peace stabilized, Buddhist monks utilized the chambers for absolute silence of hermits' cells for intensive spiritual training and graves of unusual death. Here are some important caves:

Chhoser Cave: The famous Chhoser Cave, officially known as Shija Jhong Cave or Zhong Cave, is an extraordinary, ancient five-story man-made sky cave located in the Chhoser Valley at 3970 meters. It serves as the region’s best-preserved example of prehistoric cave civilization carved vertically into a sheer, pale-ochre sandstone Cliffside dating back over 2,500 years. These ancient caves are nearly 50 meters (164 feet) tall and a massive underground complex etched out entirely by human hands.
Dakmar Cave (commonly spelled Dhakmar Caves) is an ancient, multi-tiered sky cave carved in the red cliff. These cliff dwellings stand out because of the brilliant crimson rock walls that surround them. Unlike the larger, highly structured apartments of Chhoser Cave, the caves at Dhakmar are famous for their deep connection to Tibetan Buddhist mythology and early Himalayan survival.
Mebrak Caves: These Caves are situated near Chhuksang and just north of Kagbeni along the edge of the deep Kali Gandaki River gorge. A major archaeological site containing multi-tiered burial chambers. Excavations here uncovered mummified human remains dating back over 2,000 years, alongside wooden beds, copper vessels, and woven textiles, providing a glimpse into the region's earliest settlers.
Chokhopani Caves: Located along the Kali Gandaki River Bank in the Lower Mustang region, situated directly across from Tukuche Village. These burial caves date back to approximately 1000 BCE. They have yielded ancient pottery, iron beads, and skeletal remains that trace the prehistoric migration routes between Tibet and the lowlands of Nepal.

Special Permit for Upper Mustang trekking

To enter the Upper Mustang, we need a restricted permit that costs U.S.$ 50 per day per person. Upper Mustang lies close to Tibet and has an easier border excess so that it is applied as a restricted area.
Only the Department of Immigration office in Nepal issues the restricted area project permit.
Also, each trekker needs to pay U.S. $ 20 for the Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP).

Best Time to Visit the Upper Mustang

Summer (June to August): Upper Mustang is in a rain-shadow region, so it receives less rainfall than other parts of Nepal during the monsoon. This can be a good time to visit if you want to avoid crowds, with temperatures ranging from 13°C to 25°C.
Spring (March to May): You'll experience moderate temperatures, clear skies, and blooming flowers. Temperatures range from 15°C to 20°C during the day and drop to around 5°C at night. The Tiji Festival often takes place in May, offering a unique cultural experience.
Autumn September to November)This is considered ideal due to stable weather conditions, clear skies, and comfortable temperatures (10°C to 20°C during the day, 0°C to 5°C at night). The landscapes are also lush after the monsoon.
Winter (December to February): It is possible to make a tour or trek, but it's challenging due to cold temperatures (below freezing) and potential snowfall. It is not as dangerous as the other parts of the Himalayas.

All baggage and necessary items or your belongings will be safely placed inside the jeep or attached to the jeep's rooftop. The road from Kathmandu to Pokhara is known as the Prithvi Highway. The Highway is widely connected to the western part of Nepal, including India and Tibet (China), thus it is often very busy. The road passes through the Trisuli River bank and often via the beautiful countryside, which offers greenery, rivers, waterfalls, terraced fields, picturesque villages, farming fields, and beautiful snow-capped mountain scenery. Along the way, you can see the eighth world’s eighth-highest mountain Manaslu, including several of its neighbors. The Queen City Pokhara will present massive views of the Holy Mt. Machhapuchhre, Mt. Annapurna Himalayan ranges, and Mt. Dhaulagiri, and make a fantastic evening excursion around the Lakeside in Pokhara.

Our journey starts just after breakfast, and we take a drive via Naudanda, Nayapul, to Beni. The road to Beni is well blacktopped, then follows a bumpy, rough road alongside the Kali Gandaki River Bank. Frequently, mountain views appear on the northern side, with beautiful countryside, green hills, and scattered different ethnical villages along the way. The enjoyable and amazing drive would be stopped at Tatopani for a while.

Locally, there is a very unique fairytale about the Red Hill wall at Dhakmar village and the longest Mani wall at Ghami. They believe that once in a while, there was a big power competition between Rimpoche and a demon. And, the Rimpoche won over a demon with his magical mantras and shook harder at him.

The views of the Lo-Manthang Valley are spectacular from these ancient castle points.

The tour for the day is again very exciting and curious. We visit Ngiphu Monastery for the ancient Buddhist traditions and Jhong caves at Chhosser village. Jhong Cave is a very mysterious and amazing artificial cave in Chosser. It's a five-story structure perched on the edge of a precipice. There are almost 40 chambers and multiple ladders leading to higher levels. There are different tales about these mysterious Jhong caves. Some people say that these caves were used as disposal sites for dead people. On the other hand, some people say that in ancient times, there were frequent wars around the Himalayas and Tibet. The winner used to kill every warrior, including the child and mother who were defeated; that’s why a group of warriors arrived at Chhosser and started to shelter at the same time by perching in the Sky caves. They made a single entrance door to climb up, but widely spread different chambers inside the hills.

jhongcave

They have made tiny windows as well. The tiny windows are for light, a low flow of cold wind, and spying on enemies or attackers from other groups. Enemies could not throw rocks or anything to harm from the lower, if enemies tried to get inside the caves, then whole groups from the Jhong Caves used to throw and roll rocks upon them. So that life inside these caves was secured and protected. Also, there is another belief that the cave was built during the Khamba (Tibetan) War. People from Chhoser and other villages used to hide inside the interior, resembling a tunnel, while other people used to attack or threaten them. Except for these major mysterious caves, there are several artificial caves around the area. Some caves are still used for shelter. It takes a couple of hours to visit this area and drive towards the Friendship Customary Border between Nepal and Tibet. We make a pass called Korolla 4,660 Meters, which is known as the lowest pass from Nepal to Tibet. After the Korolla Pass, we can drive a little ahead to see the land of Tibet, and then drive back to Lo-Manthang.

Tatopani

Today, we drive back down the same route we came through. We make a break for nice photography wherever we find good viewpoints.

Useful Info

Ancient Monasteries, Mysterious Caves, Lifestyle, and History of Upper Mustang

Symptoms of altitude sickness:

Symptoms of altitude sickness (acute mountain sickness) include difficulty sleeping, dizziness, headache, fatigue, loss of appetite, rapid pulse, nausea, vomiting, etc. It affects mountain climbers, hikers, and skiers because of lower air pressure and lower oxygen levels. It occurs as a result of failure to adapt at a higher altitude. It happens most often in the brain or the lungs after the fluid begins to leak from the blood vessels.

When the fluid collects in the brain, you initially get headaches, loss of appetite, nausea, tiredness, a desire to lie down and feel powerless, unwilling physical movement, and a decrease in consciousness.

Prevention of Altitude Sickness

"Avoid rapid altitude gain, drink enough water or fluid, acclimate to adjust the body to higher altitudes, avoid alcohol, eat regular meals, get higher and sleep at lower altitudes, and avoid high altitudes if you have heart and lung disease. The main treatment for acute mountain sickness is to stop climbing to higher altitudes and descend to a lower altitude if the symptoms occur"

Ascend Gradually: Do not rush your ascent. Stick to a well-planned itinerary that allows for gradual altitude gain.
Acclimatization: Try to incorporate slower hiking or take short acclimatization hikes (climb higher and sleep at lower).
Stay Hydrated: Drink 3-4 liters of water daily. Avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine, as they can dehydrate you.
Eat High-Calorie Meals: Your body needs more energy at higher altitudes. Focus on carbohydrate-rich foods.
Listen to Your Body: Pay close attention to any symptoms (headache, nausea, dizziness, fatigue). If symptoms persist or worsen, descend to a lower altitude immediately.
Consider Preventive Medication: Consult your doctor about taking Acetazolamide (Diamox) as a preventive measure, especially if you have a history of altitude sickness or are concerned about the altitude.
Proper Breathing Techniques: Practice deep breathing to improve oxygen intake.
Layer Clothing: Dress in layers to adapt to temperature fluctuations and stay warm

Clothing

Layered clothing: Moisture-wicking base layers (short and long-sleeved), fleece jacket/pullover, waterproof and windproof outer shell jacket.
Warm down jacket: Essential for higher altitudes, especially during evenings and mornings.
Trekking pants/trousers: Comfortable and quick-drying.
Warm pants for evenings: Fleece-lined track pants.
Underwear and sports bras.
