The Luxury Upper Mustang Jeep Tour leads from the bustling cities of Kathmandu and Pokhara to the windy but peaceful valleys of the Last Forbidden Kingdom. The fabulous Tibetan houses, Tibetan Migrants, and diverse landscape of Upper Mustang will never disappoint any traveller in luxury.
The hidden villages which can be spotted only after reaching the place itself are what makes the place more unique. Also known as the Hidden Kingdom, Upper Mustang has a lot more to offer than the words we explain. Additionally, the 8th, 13th, and 15th Centuries and more monasteries with the influence of Tibetan Buddhism make the tour even more fascinating.
In addition, the stories of every camp you go to are different. The belief of the people in these stories and villages remaining hidden from the rest of the world further entices the travellers to stay surprised at every step.
The total of 12 days of your trip in luxury will become one of the most unforgettable journeys with stay, visuals, monastery visits, and cultural involvement.
As usual, the Luxury Upper Mustang Jeep Tour is more into activities of the Mustangis.
The luxury here lies in the case of accommodation and transportation. First thing, you travel by a 4WD comfortable Jeep, a private vehicle that ensures you do not get tired easily just by the drive. In addition, your stays are at luxury hotels in two places during the journey in the high places while the rest of the accommodation will be in comfortable lodges.
The region is highly influenced by the Tibetan Migrants as this was a part of Tibet in back dates. So, you will surely be involved among them with their warm hospitality and daily lifestyle. Prayer wheels are almost everywhere. Thus, you get to experience the local life of Upper Mustang in comfort.
The journey offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the ancient Tibetan culture that permeates the region.
From the starting day of the drive from Pokhara, you will have amazing views of the Mountains closer to you. Heading ahead will send the mountains in the south from Lete, Kalopani onwards. You will have completely entered a different part of Nepal.
Your guide and driver will be also equally expert in their own field ensuring that you are safe, enjoying, and more involved in the whole trip.
This luxury journey to the Mud Kingdom of Nepal will always be impressed in your memories with all the influence.

You will need two permits for the Upper Mustang Tour. One is the Restricted Area Permit (RAP) and another is the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP). The RAP for Upper Mustang is $500/person for the first 10 Days and $50/per day per person for any additional days. The ACAP on the other hand is just $30/person.
The Upper Mustang though remote has almost all the facilities like a city. Proper Wi-Fi and electricity are available in every lodge where you stay. Similarly, there are also power sockets available in every room. However, sometimes, power cuts are faced at this place due to high-speed wind and other natural calamities.
As you reach an altitude of 4,660 meters in the Korala Border, it is prone to altitude sickness. Moreover, as you will be driving at many places, your body might not have even acclimatized well. Thus, enough rest, sleep, and food are the major ways to avoid altitude sickness. Additionally, you can also take the help of Diamox which helps you acclimatize faster.
