Tour Overview

Upper Mustang Photography Tour takes you to the amazing high country of Nepal Far North Western Himalaya at Upper Mustang. It’s a most scenic place truly a photographer's paradise within deserted landscapes of barren and arid terrain. And yet, it offers charming and beautiful views.

A photography Tour to Upper Mustang certainly surprises you with the magnificent and dramatic dry landscapes. This place is an extension of Tibet's Far South West plateau, where culture and people resemble across the border. Also, one can witness the Tibetan custom of Buddhism and the pre-Buddhist sect of ancient Bon traditions.

Upper Mustang Photography Tour also leads you to experience the former walled kingdom of Lo-Manthang and its beautiful surroundings. It is rich in eroded high cliffs and canyons reflecting varied colors of sunlight including views of Mustang Himal and the Dhaulagiri mountain range.

Our adventure starts right from the capital of Kathmandu by exploring its ancient monuments of both Hinduism and Buddhism. It is done along with the old palace courtyards of different eras of past medieval times. And, here you witness the harmony of local impressive culture(like Tiji Festival) and traditional life as it was past thousands of years.

After an interesting tour with a great photography opportunity, our next destination takes you to scenic and beautiful Pokhara City. It's a verdant valley, blessed with the natural wonders of Annapurna Himalayan and serene lakes that catches the reflection of snow-capped mountains.

From scenic Pokhara, now we get ready for our real adventure toward the remote corners of the Himalayas around the Mustang region. After a scenic flight of 30 mins(approx.) from Pokhara city, we reach Jomsom, a headquarters town of the Mustang district. It is located on Old Trans Himalayan Salt and Caravan route to Tibet, a strong trading post as well.

Now, from Lower Mustang, we start heading towards the interesting villages of Kagbeni and then, towards Chusang and Dhakmar. Then finally, we reach the amazing former kingdom of Lo-Manthang. On this route, you can enjoy taking shots of beautiful landscapes and high snow-capped peaks with traditional farm villages. Also, the place is highly adorned with long series of prayer bells and stone slate walls of great significance.

Within the walled city of Lo-Manthang, you will be engaged with exciting visits and cultural exploration of the old heritage living style of the Lo people. Also, one gets the opportunity to explore the fort palace of the former King of Mustang who ruled for the last Ten decades. Visiting the old and important monasteries is another highlight of the trip.

After a great time around Upper Mustang, we drive back to Jomsom for flights back to scenic Pokhara City. Now, it’s time to enjoy your time around these picturesque spots with stunning views of the sunrise over an array of Himalayan peaks. And finally, we head towards Kathmandu city, after enjoying a lovely and fantastic Mustang Photography Tour.
