Upper Mustang Trek

The Upper Mustang Trek is one of the most fascinating journeys in Nepal, offering an extraordinary blend of natural beauty, ancient Tibetan culture, and rich history. Unlike the lush green trails of other Himalayan treks, Upper Mustang’s landscape is barren, windswept, and filled with dramatic rock formations and deep gorges. The region falls within the rain shadow of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges, meaning it receives very little rainfall. This unique climate makes Upper Mustang an ideal trekking destination even during the monsoon season, when other trekking routes in Nepal are often affected by heavy rains and landslides.

About Upper Mustang Trek

Himal Basecamp Adventures is your trusted companion in the high Himalayas, with a legacy rooted in years of exploration and mountaineering excellence. Our team’s unmatched expertise across Nepal’s iconic peaks and trekking trails is backed by firsthand experience in the most challenging terrains. This hard-earned knowledge shapes every aspect of our expedition planning, ensuring that whether you’re scaling summits or trekking through serene valleys, every journey is meticulously crafted for success.

Your adventure begins with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to the Lamjung region, passing through picturesque hills and villages to reach the town of Besishar. From here, the trek follows sections of the famous Annapurna Circuit, winding through lush forests and terraced fields to reach Manang district.

The trail diverges at Koto, where you leave the main Annapurna Circuit and head into the secluded Naar and Phu valleys. Trek through Naarrow gorges, riverbanks, and high cliffs, entering a wide-open valley that leads to the hidden villages of Naar and Phu.

After exploring Phu, you’ll head to Naar Village, crossing the formidable Kang-La Pass-5320 Mtr leading into a Ngawal and ending our journey at Chame

Naar Phu Valley remains one of Nepal’s least-explored destinations, ensuring fewer trekkers and an intimate connection with its untouched beauty. Phu, a fortified village perched on a hill, offers incredible views of glacial valleys, while Naar is a bustling settlement home to modern-day Nepali Tibetans, known as Bhotias. These villages showcase unique Tibetan culture and architecture, providing trekkers with a deep cultural immersion. Both Naar and Phu are equally fascinating, offering an unforgettable glimpse into the trans-Himalayan lifestyle.

Safety is paramount, and our guides bring unparalleled experience to the table. Many are seasoned AWFA/WFA certified guides with extensive expertise in mountain hazards. When you travel with Himal Basecamp Adventures, you’re not just embarking on a trek – you’re stepping into the Himalayas with a team dedicated to your well-being and unforgettable memories.

Whether you’re seeking solitude, adventure, or cultural immersion, the Naar and Phu Valley Trek has it all. Contact Himal Basecamp Adventures today to plan your extraordiNaary journey into Nepal’s hidden Himalayan gems. Let us guide you through this spectacular, life-changing adventure!
