Upper Mustang Jeep Tour
The Upper Mustang Jeep Tour also known as the Upper Mustang Overland Tour is one of the best tours in the Himalayan region of Nepal. It is a great alternative for those who do not have enough days for the Upper Mustang trek or do not want to walk 4-7 hours per day.
This tour will take you to the last small forbidden kingdom of Nepal located in the Trans-Himalayan region which was opened for tourists only after 1992. If you are looking for a similar tour to Tibet then Upper Mustang will be the best choice. The tour provides an opportunity to explore the barren landscape of the Tibetan plateau and medieval culture, monastic charm, and spiritual holy place in the Himalayas. The people living in this area are quite similar to Tibetan and their culture is similar to each other. Stunning views of Mt. Dhaulagiri (8167 M), Mt. Annapurna (8091 M), Nilgiri, Tilicho Peak, Tukuche Peak, & many more snowcapped mountains can be seen during the tour accompanied by Buddhist monasteries, chortens, stupas, wall caves, peaceful villages and the warm hospitality of the local people.
This 12-day Upper Mustang Jeep Tour takes you to the Tibetan border, Kora La (4660 M) where you can do side trips. You will be taken on a thrilling natural adventure across arid landscapes, barren ridges, deep canyons, eroded cliffs, and 4000-meter high passes which will leave you breathtaken and wanting more – an unforgettable adventure that is not to be missed.
