trip information

Trekking in Mustang is really one of the most gratifying experiences you can get. Also, you will get a firsthand glimpse into the ancient Buddhist culture in the area that has been untouched by modernization for centuries. The Mustang trek as designed by Unique Adventure International can be also referred to as the “Rhododendron trek” because it takes you to different varieties of rhododendron forests and looks absolutely enchanting during the spring season because of blooming rhododendrons. Moreover, you will come across the Thorang La pass (5417 m) where you will enjoy some stunning high Himalayan scenery over the Kali Gandaki valley, with the entire Annapurna range, Mukut and Mustang Himal overlooking your trek from the west.

We begin our biking tour from Besisahar in the lush central hills, riding our way through the beautiful path until we enter Yak Kharka (4000 m). From here onwards, the track goes vertically upwards to the base camp of Chulu East and follows the route climbing to the summit of Chulu Far East which is pebbly, icy and very much vertical. We’ll get some amazing close-up views of Annapurna I, II, III, IV, Manaslu, Gangapurna, Chulu West, Pisang Peak, and the northern part of Himlung Valley from the top of Chulu Far East. After mountaineering, we will move to Manang and we take a bicycle trip to Thorong La Pass (5416 m) the next morning and proceed on the manner to a holy Hindu temple – Muktinath.
