Pristine Upper Mustang and Lo Manthang We did the Upper Mustang trek during the first week of September 2019. It was heavily raining in the lower part of the trek and Pokhara. We were suggested that the region falls in the rain shadow area so the areas of Upper Mustang were completely dry. We felt like we were completely in another world. The uniquely fantastic landscape like that of Tibet and the very small patches of cultivating lands were the thrilling part of the Upper Mustang. We were very much pleased with the service of Oriental Journeys. Our guide Raj was very experienced to handle every kinds of situation during our trip. The experience was really rewarding after all, especially from the cultural side thanks to our guide Raj who helped us a lot on understanding the lifestyle and current situation of the people living in the Mustang region valley and other regions of the Himalayas. Although we missed the biggest festival of the region like Tiji, we enjoyed the feel of all the cultural, traditional, ritual parts including the lifestyle of Upper Mustang. Specially, the cave civilization of the region is really interesting. We had a lifetime experience. Thanks the owner couple Machhindra and Radhika for wonderful arrangement.
