Best time to go
Why these dates? Responsible Adventures selects departure periods based on weather, trail or road conditions, high-pass accessibility and the overall quality of your experience — not simply whether the destination is technically accessible.
Overview
Explore Upper Mustang — Nepal's 'Last Forbidden Kingdom' — by private 4x4, reaching the walled city of Lo-Manthang and its ancient Tibetan-Buddhist monasteries and cave complexes through a high desert of eroded cliffs and deep gorges. All the wonder of Mustang without the multi-week trek.
