Mustang Region
Nestled in the northern reaches of Nepal, the Mustang Region is a land of rugged beauty, ancient history, and untold stories. Known as the "Last Forbidden Kingdom," Mustang invites you to walk through a living museum of Tibetan culture, red-walled cliffs, cave dwellings, and dramatic landscapes that feel more like Tibet than Nepal.
From the windswept deserts of Upper Mustang to the sacred trails of Lower Mustang, this region offers something for every adventurous soul. Whether you're trekking to the walled city of Lo Manthang, exploring centuries-old monasteries, or just taking in the surreal beauty of the Kali Gandaki Gorge, Mustang feels like stepping into another world.
Best Time to Visit Mustang
Thanks to its trans-Himalayan climate, Mustang is one of the few places in Nepal you can trek even during the monsoon season (June–August). Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) are also ideal for clear skies and pleasant temperatures.
