Our 15-day Upper Mustang trek is a meticulously designed package that begins in Kathmandu with an airport pickup. After spending one night in the medieval city of Kathmandu, you will take a scenic flight to Pokhara. This luxury package for the Upper Mustang trek ensures that you receive the highest level of service possible. Consequently, you can travel seamlessly between Kathmandu and Pokhara. Pokhara serves as the gateway to the Upper Mustang trek, renowned as one of the most beautiful regions in Nepal, often referred to as the 'Hanging Garden.' Following your time in Pokhara, you can take a flight to Jomsom; however, this is largely contingent on weather conditions.
