You’ll return to Jomsom on the third day, and the journey will conclude. However, if you have time, we recommend you choose nine days of the itinerary.

You can undertake the Jeep tour to Mustang throughout the year. Traveling to Mustang from March to May (spring) is favorable, with moderate temperatures and warm days. The clear mountain views and clear sky make spring suitable for the Mustang tour.
Although most areas in Nepal experience monsoons during Summer, the Upper Mustang has a lower probability of rainfall due to its location in the rain shadow. Therefore, we recommend the Upper Mustang Jeep tour during the Summer.
Autumn is also an ideal time to explore Nepal, including Upper Mustang. The temperature is comfortable from September to November, making your jeep tour more enjoyable.
Winter is relatively harsh, with freezing temperatures, so you should know about the weather conditions before starting a Jeep tour to Mustang in the spring. We are also ready to assist you; remember us before planning your trip.
The jeep trip to Upper Mustang takes you through the awe-inspiring landscape of the area. The Upper Mustang’s dry desert-like topography, deep gorges, and different rock structures give you a distinct feeling of accomplishment.

The world’s deepest gorge, Kali Gandaki River, winds through the area of Upper Mustang, providing travelers with incredible scenery and an impressive atmosphere.
We recommend you arrive at Kathmandu by three pm at least one day before the trek departure date for last-minute preparations.

Upper Mustang is in the northern part of the Mustang district and the north-central part of Dhaulagiri, Nepal. It is also in the western part of Kathmandu and Pokhara. Upper Mustang lies in the Annapurna conservation area of Nepal and is close to the Tibetan border of Nepal.
The Upper Mustang is restricted because it has its own culture and customs. Their culture is vibrant, but it is close to the Tibetan border.
An Upper Mustang is an area with an elevation ranging from 2800 m to 4000 m above. The lowest elevation and the point from where the Upper Mustang starts is 2890m, and the highest elevation is 4500m above. However, you’ll only get to an elevation of 3680m, the highest point on the Upper Mustang Jeep tour.
As the name suggests, the itinerary features a jeep tour, not trekking. However, you’ll hike at some point on the exploration day to Lo Manthang. But most of the journey is on the jeep tour. If you prefer trekking over jeep tours, you can take an Upper Mustang trek package instead of the tour.
We can drive a Jeep to Korala (the Border of Tibet) or take a cheser cab from Pokhara and Kathmandu. The jeep tour to Upper Mustang covers several hundred kilometers, allowing you to explore the region’s arid and desert landscapes, villages, monasteries, and other attractions.
The cost of a Jeep tour in the Upper Mustang varies depending on duration, extra facilities requested during the tour, and group size. The average price is USD 600/—per person (Sharing Jeep). The trip starts in Jomsom, goes to Lo-Mangthang, and then returns to Jomsom.
Both Upper and Lower Mustangs are unique and have their uniqueness. While the Upper Mustang is in the northern part, close to the Tibet border, and in the upper area of the region, the Lower Mustang is in the lower elevation and south of the Upper Mustang. The upper Mustang is known for trekking and touring activities, and the lower Mustang is known for its religious terms and natural scenery.
Because of its remote location, the Upper Mustang road needs to be blacktopped to improve its condition. The road is gravel, rocky, tippy, and bumpy. Although the road is not blacktop, the Jeep tour is enjoyable and relatively safe. Efforts have been made to improve the road infrastructure and are still in progress. The trail ascends and descends, passing higher and lower areas throughout the journey.
We will start our journey to Upper Mustang from Kathmandu Valley first. From Kathmandu, the journey goes to Pokhara. From Pokhara, you’ll have a short flight to Jomsom. From Jomsom, your Jeep drive and the trip to Upper Mustang begin. The jeep tour takes you to Samar, Charang, and Lo Mamthang, a final destination from Jomsom.
Jomsom is located at 2720 m in the Mustang district of Nepal. It is the district’s administrative center, lying north of Pokhara city and south of Kagbeni village. The area is at the river of Kali Gandaki and serves as the gateway to Upper Mustang.
Tcharang, also called Charang, is a village in the Mustang district at 3560m. The town lies at Upper Mustang, one of the region’s famous attractions. Tsarang is well known for its ancient monastery, beautiful landscape, and Tibetan-influenced culture and architecture.
