Mustang is teeming with fascinating old cultures and treasures. Upper Mustang boasts spectacular wall caverns, forts, overlapping stone homes, and a culture that is apart from ordinary Nepalese society. This magical region has many bygone memories, which may still be alive in the corners of the Mustang. This Himalayan experience is thrilling for both children and elders.

If you want your family to discover the historical ruins and medieval towns, then you should certainly visit Upper Mustang for an unforgettable adventure with your family.

Within a few days, the family may enjoy the pleasure and joy of discovering historic communities, beautiful landscapes, intriguing cultures, and breathtaking views. Mustang was once a significant destination for crossing the Highlands between Tibet and Nepal, with numerous historic salt caravans passing through. This is where you will go to explore the glories of the architecture, language, culture, and customs that are similar to Tibetan. Moreover, you will get to experience the rich culture of the Bhotias and Lobas in their original form. 

How to get there?

Upper Mustang Valley Trek begins from Jomsom. Traveling via car or plane are two available options to get to Jomsom. However, we always recommend getting to the beginning site of a journey via a flight to save time and energy. Because there is no direct connection from Kathmandu to Jomsom, you must first fly from Kathmandu to Pokhara, which takes around 30 minutes. Then it's only a 20-minute flight from Pokhara to Jomsom.

If you are a budget trekking family, then you can opt. for a local drive. To get to Jomsom via local bus, you need to first travel to Pokhara. In Pokhara, numerous local buses go to Beni. To go to Ghasa, you'll need to take another bus from Beni. Finally, after one more bus ride from Ghasa, you will arrive at Jomsom. If you want to avoid the hassle of changing buses, then you can hire a private jeep/car and drive directly to Jomsom. It takes around 10-12 hours in a private jeep. 

When it comes to family treks in Nepal, we usually recommend using an aircraft or a private vehicle. If you spend time on local buses, you will naturally take longer than intended. Also, after Beni, the road conditions begin to deteriorate and become bumpy. So, if you decide to drive, be ready to face challenges.

Should I rent or buy hiking gear in Kathmandu?
